*Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat and Robin Roberts’ Rock’n Robin Productions have teamed to executive produce the New Orleans documentary “A King Like Me for Highly” for Flammable Productions.
The doc premiered last week at the 35th Annual New Orleans Film Festival. The story centers on “Zulu Krewea, a Louisiana cultural organization of over 800 Black men, who lost 16 members of their members to COVID-19 following 2020 Mardi Gras,” per THR.
“The film explores the impact of the pandemic on this stalwart cultural organization,” per a release, “and what that loss tells us about the United States health inequities, as tied to race.”
“We are so thrilled to have Hartbeat and Rock’n Robin Robin join us on this project,” said producer Fisher Stevens. “We are so grateful to have their support in shining a light on the history and importance of Black culture during Mardi Gras and helping illuminate the stories of determination, perseverance and community within the Zulu Club.”
Director Matthew Henderson added, “I cannot tell you how empowering it is to have the support of Hartbeat and Rock’n Robin on this film,” adding that the doc “celebrates the intricacies and nuance of the Black experience in America.”
Meanwhile, Hart, Keanu Reeves, and Arnold Schwarzenegger are among the voice cast for Amazon Prime Video’s upcoming adult animated series “Secret Level.”
