Nearly four years in the making, this documentary follows a half-dozen young black males — all participants in Ohio's Alchemy, Inc., youth storytelling and community support program — as they make the difficult transition to adulthood. This week director Karina Epperlein and protagonists Brandyn Costa and Darius Simpson make a series of Bay Area appearances to talk about their experiences, including stops at the Roxie Theater (7 p.m. Sunday, May 17), David Brower Center (7 p.m. Tuesday, May 19), and Christopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center (7 p.m. Wednesday, May 20).
