This is a short documentary about my friend, Alejandro Perez, Jr (AP). There's so many titles I could give him. Singer, rapper, capoeira teacher, cook, mentor... He's a hidden jewel of Dallas. His words of wisdom always stick with me and I've never met anyone with more stories. He was forcefully introduced to drugs and sex at a very early age and has had to overcome a lot to get to where he is. Today he's a active father of 5 daughters and one son, a loving husband, and is a positive influence on his neighborhood (South Dallas) In this film I dive into one of his many stories. The night he could have lost his life at the age of fifteen, had it not been for divine intervention. I follow him as he visits the place where it happened and reconciles with this moment of his past. This film provides an opportunity to celebrate the resilience of the human spirit and the mysterious power of grace. "My voice has the power to speak my truth and share my light." If you resonate with that quote, you will want to see this film.

A man rediscovers a moment in his past where a divine force Intervened and saved his life. He visits the place where it happened for the first time in his adult life, as he reconciles with the young man he once was.


This is a short documentary about my friend, Alejandro Perez, Jr (AP). There's so many titles I could give him. Singer, rapper, capoeira teacher, amazing cook, mentor... He's a hidden jewel of Dallas. His words of wisdom always stick with me and I've never met anyone with more stories. He was forcefully introduced to drugs and sex at a very early age and has had to overcome a lot to get to where he is. Today he's an active father of 5 daughters and one son, a loving husband, and is a positive influence on his neighborhood, South Dallas. In this film I dive into one of his many stories and most importantly I learn the weight he carries from these experiences. My intention in producing this short film is to make something longer where we get to learn AP's entire story. It's hard to put into a few words how incredible a person he is. A feature length documentary is the only way I see to truly do his story justice.

This doesn't really do DaVerse Lounge justice. You need to just go there for the full experience. Rhymes by Topic Music by Anitek
