Note: DVD Released May 6, 2003. Found a TV listing in the The Durant Daily Democrat October 31, 1999 page 21 that says the movie premiered November 5th, 1999 at 9 PM on BET. This film was one of ten to be produced by BET based on books published by Arabesque Publishing. William Washington was not listed on IMDB cast list as an actor in the film – just a stuntman but on the actual DVD credits he is listed as both. I didn’t find a trailer for this film. Above is a clip from the movie.
