Dedicated to music, art, and poetry, our cinematic foundation celebrates documentary film as a transformative play-form to empower independent storytellers and live creators.
Soul Street Foundation was built around the belief that inspiration lives in communities, music, lived experience, and the stories often overlooked by mainstream media.
Soul Street looks for stories where they naturally live — in music, neighborhoods, creative spaces, and human connection.
Every project is built around sincerity, emotional truth, and documentary storytelling that respects the people in the frame.
The foundation believes the stories it tells should give back to the communities, artists, and young people represented.
A powerful documentary centered around Barbados, Poet Laureate Esther Phillips, and the painful historical legacy of Trans-Atlantic slavery explored through poetry, music, storytelling, and art.
Esther Phillips, the Poet Laureate of Barbados, searches for healing through poetry and reflection as she explores the aftermath of slavery on the island where it was born and developed.
Barbados is considered by many historians as ground zero for the formation and spread of Trans-Atlantic slavery.
Esther’s Song blends poetry, cinematography, storytelling, fine art, and an original score to provoke awareness, compassion, and reflection.
The film also explores the controversy surrounding Drax Hall, one of Barbados’ oldest slave plantations, and broader conversations around reparations and historical accountability.

A personal portrait of a young, formally homeless man, bound to a wheelchair, who survives through the notes of his trumpet and soulful raspy voice. Tragically shot multiple times in the throat, New Orleans native Craig Adams speaks wistfully of circumstance, serendipity, and the monumental life-saving power of music.
Every project is designed to elevate overlooked voices while creating direct support for artists, youth, schools, and community spaces.
Soul Street began as a journey to discover authentic stories through music and culture. What started as documenting street musicians evolved into a larger mission focused on preserving human connection through transformative storytelling.
Today, the foundation continues to create and seek out documentary experiences that inspire empathy, spark dialogue, and celebrate the resilience of communities often overlooked by mainstream media.
