Who we are!

A group of concerned activists, filmmakers, artists and media personalities have gotten together to address Viacom?s negative portrayal of African-Americans via its media outlets VH1, MTV and BET. ?Turn Off Channel Zero? will be the name of the film.

The group is particularly concerned with the growing popularity of the Flavor of Love show which is currently broadcasting some of the most negative images on television. Flavor Flav, the show?s star, is a member of the group that politicized a generation ? Public Enemy.

Professor Griff, of legendary rap group Public Enemy, is at war with mass media and is taking the fight directly to Viacom. Friend and P.E. group mate - Flavor Flav is a Viacom ratings dream boy whose tv shows are the target of much debate and interest in popular culture.

Turn Off Channel Zero is the best example of activist filmmaking. The aim is to kick the hell out of the creators of negative media images. This heavily anticipated film reaches deep into the Black community and high into the front yard (literally) of one of the most powerful media moguls in the world - CBS and Viacom Chairman Sumner Redstone.

Professor Griff of the legendary Hip Hop group Public Enemy is running with the most capable group of activists, artists, filmmakers and everyday people. There are solutions, action and some real things get said...

This Opio Media film was released February 21, 2007.

I just saw a few of Flavs shows finally ........ I kind of wish I didn't ....... I can really understand the criticism and its a shame ...... personally I feel for his children because I can't imagine how tough it must be to see or hear about these shows ............ the whole thing was a bit of a shock.... nuff said .
