A short film on Chicago emcee/middle school teacher J. Beck. There is some serious positivity in this clip. Unfortunately for the students, J’s contract has not been renewed for another year. Wow.
Joe Becker is a middle school teacher & hip hop artist at an inner city school on Chicago’s south side. With an epidemic of murders going on in the streets and a 50% chance of youths not graduating from high school, there seems to be little hope. But Joe is trying to reach these kids and in doing so using his hip hop songs to help steer these kids away from a life of crime. Produced by David Turvey
