With not enough money in the bank account when the check is deposited by the vendor\, the account is over-drafted. This triggers the school to charge the BSU with misuse of funds and termination of the organization. Compromising her close friendship with Malik (the BSU President) and the well needed community for Black students on campus\, Ozanna and the Black Student Union pleads their case. \n \nMen of Courage \nDirector: Byron P. Hurt Producer: Natalie Bullock Brown \nDoc.\, 40 min. \nMen of Courage takes the viewer on a journey inside the Garden State of New Jersey for a fly-on-the-wall experience as five black and Latino men engage in compelling conversations with other boys and men about the role they play in ending violence against women.
