Toledo Public Library's Spotlight on Local Artists and Filmmakers

Sons of Toledo - with Monty Cole and Matt Foss

Sons of Toledo is the true story of the city’s Black-owned barber shops and their work on the
frontlines of their communities, especially the cost of caring for the young men who see their
shops as a place of refuge from the growing threat of gun violence in their neighborhoods.
Told by, with and for members of this community, Sons of Toledo blends documentary filmmaking
with a narrative thread of the lived experiences of these barbers giving too many of their young
customers their final cuts.
