Some films, no matter how worthwhile, just get lost in the shuffle of time. Luckily Michael Campus' The Education of Sonny Carson is being released to DVD by VCI Entertainment this month following years of shout-outs from rappers like Lauryn Hill. Education is an important and provocative film about race in New York. Carson was going to help introduce the DVD to the market himself but in late September he suffered a serious heart attack that currently has him in a coma. This week Cinema Gotham reviews the DVD and talks with the film's director Michael Campus (who also directed The Mack) about the film, the gangs it depicts, and Sonny Carson.
