Synopsis
The film is an investigation of systemic racism in America at a time when many deny systemic racism exists. The title of the film is based on sociologist W.E.B. DuBois’ famous question that he raised in his seminal book, “The Souls of Black Folk.”
With the help of Danny Glover, Ed Asner, Henry Rollins, scholars, authors, and activists, we tell the story of systemic racism in America, past and present. The film also features music by Rock & Roll Hall of Fame artist, Jackson Browne.

Director Statement
How Does It Feel To Be a Problem was the culmination of 6 years of hard work in collaboration with Dr. JW Wiley. We set out to show how systemic racism had a pervasive presence in the past, but continues to exist and even flourish today. Tapping into some of the top scholars in America and joining with activists and authors, How Does It Feel helps bring the views of W.E.B. DuBois to life with his thoughts resonating as much today as ever. In the words of the immortal John Lewis, “we still have a great deal of work to do.”
