Welcome to the new Betting on Black site

We are so pleased to announce the redesign of Betting on Black: The Battle for F Street. With our new site, you can be a part of the magic and journey we’re on to tell the story of a town that should be brought to life. 

Come inside with behind the scenes photos and videos of the making of this documentary. 

Learn about the extraordinary members that make up this team and donate to the cause. 

There is an official Betting on Black blog and newsletter, where you can stay up-to-date with all of our milestones and we now have a store that you can purchase Betting on Black memorabilia. 

Overall, we are so excited to continue our journey into making this documentary and hope that it can help give a voice to a community that almost had it taken away. We hope others can see this and spread Westside's story.
