Directed by Geovonday Jones and produced by

Bible and Delisa Richardson, with executive producers Emmett Williams (Discovery Studios) and Jessica Wernli of The Years Collective, Ten Years Later: Talking While Black asks, Who has the privilege of growing old in America?

Currently, Bible can be seen in Vision, the docudrama I Bear Witness, and The Company You Keep. Upcoming projects include starring in the thriller Cessation, Shades of Someone Else, Cling, and Soul on Fire (Sony Pictures Entertainment’s AFFIRM Films), in which she appears.
