Snow reeks of the kind of dirty laundry most blacks frown upon with a moment’s mention, without taking a step further to judge the book by its content as opposed to its cover. Now the proud owner of a new gadget, Curtis turns the camera inward as if to say: if these college kids thought my world was so interesting, then who best to show it, but me? He begins in the making of a documentary about his life – complete with its drug raids, its baby momma drama, and its jail sentences. Curtis hustles his way into their car and in a matter of minutes, their fears are realized when he robs them of their money and video camera, though the students do manage to escape with their health and car in tact.
They meet Curtis Snow on the street corner, who at first, seems like a pleasant enough drug dealer. So in they go, fingers crossed and wearing nervous middle class smiles, silently reassuring themselves that nothing will go down. The students fear being carjacked in downtown Atlanta, but their desire to capture the real-life hood on camera and get some drugs while they’re at it, outweighs their fears. Snow on tha Bluff creeps from outside of the hood looking in, as three college students venture out of their comfort zones and into the hood – armed with all the fears, urban legends, and preconceptions of the ghetto on their sleeves.
