Produced by (393films), From Writer/Director Adimu “WolfHawkJaguar” Madyun comes the story of Cicero Jacobs, played by lead actor Sizwe Abakah. Jacobs is a loving father/ husband who falls into deep depression and mental collapse after his wife dies from cancer. Tent City highlights the impact of unprocessed grief on mental health in America, the toll that gentrification has taken on the city of Oakland (nation wide), and ignites a call to action to reclaim our humanity in the midst of our ever changing world. “In a city of tents, every tent has a story.” It is up to us to change the narrative of homelessness, mental trauma, and despair.
