How the Black Church Really Controls Power

The people behind Sundays After Church came to Growth Unscripted and said everything they were not supposed to say. Writer and executive producer Eric Brown spent a decade on Capitol Hill and worked for the DIA and CIA before he ever wrote a single episode. Director Ethan X Evans built a cinematic award-winning season in 10 days with a team that showed up because they believed in something. Executive producer Natasha Boyce Brown held the whole production together while keeping the content from going too far and revealed that their audience of older Black women kept telling her to push it further. And producer and actor Brian Dargan broke down what real loyalty looks like when the cameras stop rolling. In this episode we cover the CIA using the exact same playbook as pimps. We cover how Black churches stopped being community and became multi-level marketing schemes. We cover Hollywood giving Black actors only two roles the good Negro and the friendly Negro and what it took to build a third option from scratch in Richmond Virginia. We cover who really controls power in America and why it is never the person you see out front. We cover what it means to tell a story so real you have to stop and ask yourself if you have gone too far. And we cover why Season 2 of Sundays After Church depends entirely on whether people support Season 1. Eric Brown spent $335,000 of his own money to make this. He shot it in 10 days. It is on Apple TV and Prime Video right now. Go watch it. Season 2 is written. Your purchase is what makes it happen. Growth Unscripted drops new episodes every week. Raw conversations about identity, mental health, entrepreneurship, and what it actually costs to grow.
