Filmmaker Nelson George joined “Lens On Talent” host Kim Fields to discuss the issues of race in society and film on Sunday’s episode.

George, best known as executive producer of “Good Hair” and “American Gangster,” talked candidly with Fields about the issue with race in today’s society.

“Race is still one of the key things that defines American society,” George said. “The fact that we just had our first Black President and some of the activity that has come up because of that in the Tea Party and some of the other reactions to Obama’s decadency … part of it is political but there’s no doubt a lot of it is racial.”

Coinciding with George’s appearance on the show was the short film was “Gap” by Ryan Coogler. The film is an adaptation from a play written by Carol Lashof.   The Oakland, Calif. native is a graduate from the University of Southern California’s Cinematic Arts.
