SNAP tackles deep-seated societal issues like systemic racism, generational oppression, climate change, gender identity and abortion. The anthology sheds a light in a thought-provoking way on broken systems, antiquated beliefs, and harmful misconceptions standing in the way of forward motion. The series serves to shake the collective conscience into acknowledging uncomfortable truths and recognizing we can no longer afford to stand idly by while agents of destruction, be they government forces, the media, or our very own selves, risk driving society at large aground.

The first episode is “Willie Lynch” – and premieres Thursday, December 22.
EPISODE SYNOPSIS: In a story woven across generations, Willie Lynch’s Breaking the Slave manifesto, in which he gives a roadmap to keep the Black community oppressed, plays out in modern day. A couple argues over child support benefits, the man unable to live with his girlfriend and daughter while she accepts government assistance. Jealousy and conflict arise between light and dark-skinned candidates for a coveted on air position. Family strife boils over between young and old generations, the former questioning why the latter never helped change the narrative. All highlighting that the indoctrination lives on.

Snap stars a host of lead characters including Eric Benét (Greed: A Seven Deadly Sins Story), Amiyah Scott (Star), Michael Buscemi (Blended, Nurse Jackie), Clifton Powell (Rush Hour), Tisha Campbell (My Wife and Kids, Inside Job) and more.

Snap is created by Eric Benét, directed and written by Devin Hampton with Courtney Miller as an additional director for two episodes.
