Moguldom
Studios is leading the way in producing non-theatrical films through
digital networks by keeping at the pulse of trending topics that are
relevant in today's ever-evolving world.
"Baby
mamas," single mothers, deadbeat dads and absentee fathers: these
polarizing terms are commonplace in today's African-American community.
Nearly 72% of black children are born out of wedlock, and single mothers
are raising most. Why is it that black men continue to neglect their
parental responsibilities?
Through
the perspective of various experts, 72% looks into the reasoning behind
the rise of single mothers in the African-American community. The film
investigates the effects that colonization and slavery have had on the
black family unit, which was once solid and intact.
Today's
media is inundated with stories of black single mothers, child support
cases, and so-called "welfare queens." The African-American community at
large has clapped back at criticism from Don Lemon, Rush Limbaugh, Fox
News reporter Ben Carson, and even Black leaders like Bill Cosby and
President Barack Obama. 72% provides a raw and analytical view of the
media's portrayal of this phenomenon in regards to African-American
households.
Single
black mothers chime in to tell their stories from their vantage point.
Cameras follow one single mother of three as she changes hats from
full-time employee to full-time caretaker in order to provide and care
for her children on her own. 72% leaves no stone left unturned as it
seeks to expose this issue from all perspectives and compel viewers to
reconstruct the African-American family from the ground up.
"The
purpose of our films is to spark debate. Here at Moguldom, we accept
the challenge of initiating spirited and provocative discussion. 72% is
another example of presenting an issue so culturally relevant and
important, that examining it was the natural thing for us to do," says Brett Dismuke, President of Moguldom Entertainment.
72% is currently available for purchase on DVD and digital download via Amazon.com, GooglePlay, iTunes and www.moguldomstudios.com.
Production credits include Jamarlin Martin, Marve Frazier and Barion L. Grant as Executive Producers, Rasheed J. Daniel as Co-Executive Producer, with Jeremy Batchelor and Janice M. Garcia as Directors.

President Obama and the internet,
how it affects you!
Dear MoveOn member,
President Obama just said something huge about Net Neutrality, and it could be a gamechanger.
For the first time since the FCC unveiled its disastrous plan to allow a corporate takeover of the Internet earlier this
year, President Obama answered our call to speak up to save the Internet.1
This is significant progress in the fight to restore and protect Net Neutrality. If we seize this moment, it could be a turning
point.
Here's what President Obama said:
The FCC is making decisions this year that will affect the future of the Internet. President Obama's comments could motivate
the three Democrats who sit on the FCC—all of whom
President Obama appointed—to reconsider the plan that they're advancing,
which would turn the Internet into a two-tier system with a fast lane
for the big companies that can afford to pay, and a slow lane for the
rest of us.
That's why today, we're teaming up with our friends at CREDO to flood the FCC with faxes of President Obama's statement.
We want every commissioner and staff person in the FCC headquarters to get the message that not only did President Obama
weigh in, but tens of thousands of Americans noticed too.
Why a fax? We've called and submitted comments—faxes, though seemingly antiquated, are a great way to grab attention!
And FCC chairman Tom Wheeler has a press conference this Friday—the more stir we make within the FCC, the likelier
it'll be that a reporter asks him to address President Obama's comments directly.
For months, MoveOn members have been calling the White House every day
and signing petitions urging President Obama not to stand idly by while the people he appointed destroy the future of the
Internet.
Less than two weeks ago, hundreds of MoveOn members and our allies made
headlines with the message "Don't Kill the Internet" as we rallied
outside the president's fundraisers in Silicon Valley and Los
Angeles—and we caught the attention of people traveling with the president.
Our organizing is working. Yesterday, the president echoed our message. But his clear call for real Net Neutrality could
get swept under the rug if we don't shout it from the rooftops.
The Washington Post reported that the president's comments "seem to contrast with the FCC's current proposal on
net neutrality, which would tacitly allow for such commercial deals."
The political support is there for the FCC to abandon its dangerous plan and pursue the sensible path—treating the
Internet as a public utility, like other utilities like water and telephones, to preserve the Internet as an equal playing
field for all.
But there's a danger that President Obama's comments will get buried—unless we flood the FCC today with copies of his
influential statement.
Thanks for all you do.
–Maria, Victoria, Jo, Milan, and the rest of the team

comments:
One of the issues around net neutrality is whether you are creating different rates or charges for different content providers. That's the big controversy here.Source:
