Description

Peace of Quev is a 9-minute portrait of Quindell Evans, a musician and spoken word artist from Brownsville, Brooklyn who is determined to change the lives of those around him through positive teaching and thinking. The documentary was filmed all around NYC, from the underground rap clubs of East New York and open mic nights in Downtown Brooklyn, to the subway in Queens, and the Bronx homeless shelter where he teaches. Quindell is an artist with much more than a social conscience, he radiates peace and love and hope for the next generation.
