Dark Frames, an independent film production and distribution company, is making a movie about the Montford Point Marines. Because the military was still segregated at the time, the first African-American Marines were forced to endure their boot camp training at Camp Montford Point in Jacksonville, North Carolina, rather than alongside their white counterparts at Marine Corps Recruiting Depot Parris Island, South Carolina, or San Diego.
