This Is North Preston directed by Jaren Hayman (Bodyguards) explores how the town of 4,000 has dealt with generations of pimp culture, violence, economic struggle, and constant systemic racism through the eyes of the victims, politicians, police, and community members looking to change the narrative.  The film not only tells a truly unique story, but also an incredibly important one. While the community has several deep-rooted issues it’s facing, including high levels of gun violence and the film explores how and why this is now a reality, as well as looks to the decades of racism the town has and continues to experience. About the Director: Jaren Hayman’s first feature documentary Bodyguards: Secret Lives from the Watchtower had a 12-city theatrical release in 2016 before climbing to #1 on the iTunes charts in the USA & Canada and #4 in the UK and Australia.The film released globally on Netflix in May of 2017.
