Deon Taylor’s Hidden Empire Film Group to Produce and Finance ‘The Daryl Davis Project’ (EXCLUSIVE)

The new project tells the true story of Daryl Davis , a Black pianist who uses music to forge unlikely friendships with members of the KKK with the mission to turn their hearts away from an allegiance to white supremacy. Davis began his mission to fight racism in the 1980s, and he now proudly owns the hoods and robes of more than 200 former Klansmen who turned them over to him.

“This story couldn’t be timelier and the fact that it’s real makes it even more compelling,” Taylor tellsof the project. “Daryl is one of those great examples how one individual can make a massive change in the world no matter who they are, where they come from or their color of skin.”
