There is one number that is always mentioned in the discussion of black children born out of wedlock: 72 percent.
Estimations place the growing number of children born to unwed mothers in the 70th percentile of the black population in America. The documentary ‘72 Percent,’ “takes a hard look at the single mother phenomena in the African American community.”
The documentary aims to analyze “beyond catastrophic” statistics through a discussion of the effect of welfare policies, social norms and celebrity examples on this “disturbing epidemic.”
Director Jeremy Batchelor also follows the story of a single-mother who shares her perspective of the struggle to raise her three children without a father.
