Black Diamonds and My Brother’s Keeper HostThe PROcess Film Screening and Q&A in Peekskill

PEEKSKILL, NY -- The Black Diamonds Academic Success Program, in partnership with Peekskill High School’s MBK (My Brother’s Keeper) initiative, will host a special community event for student-athletes and their families on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, beginning at 6:00 PM at the Peekskill Administration Building, located at 1031 Elm Street, Peekskill, NY.

The evening will feature a FREE special screening of the documentary film The PROcess, produced by Brian Marable. Following the screening, attendees will participate in a live Q&A session with Mr. Marable and special guests featured in the film.

The PROcess provides an unfiltered, behind-the-scenes look at the journey of student-athletes aspiring to play Division I basketball and beyond, including the realities of pursuing professional opportunities. The film explores the academic, athletic, and personal challenges athletes face—particularly the complexities of navigating the college recruitment process.

“This event is designed to empower both students and parents by providing real insight into what it truly takes to succeed at the next level,” said Martin McDonald, Executive Director of the Black Diamonds Academic Success Program. “Too often families only see the highlights. This film shows the full picture—the discipline, the sacrifices, and the importance of academics and character alongside athletic talent.”

The event aligns with the shared mission of Black Diamonds and Peekskill High School MBK to promote academic excellence, informed decision-making, and holistic development for young men of color.

Community members, educators, coaches, and families are encouraged to attend and take part in this informative and impactful evening.
