Ten year veteran of film and television Chioke Jelani Clanton has taken on his most audacious and arguably most important role of his career in the upcoming Neo-Urban Noir series RED SLEEP. Written and directed by Andre Welsh, RED SLEEP is the story of a former prison inmate trying to overcome the effects of an experimental U.S. Military program.
Drawing inspiration from documented cases of medical experimentation on black prisoners, RED SLEEP is an artistic examination of the atrocities of the pharmaceutical/military industrial complex. Clanton appears as the show’s lead character “Clyde Harris”. The series also stars Ron Kaell, Jessica Sonneborn, and Don Stark.
DZI: The Voice connected with Clanton to discuss RED SLEEP, the history of governmental human research on people of color, and more in an exclusive interview.
