LOS ANGELES, Oct. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- OVERVIEW: Academy Award(R) nominee Don Cheadle delivers a critically acclaimed, unforgettable and powerful performance in the inspiring, feel-good and funny, true-life story of an outrageous and provocative ex con who overcame impossible odds by becoming a beloved radio personality and the voice of the people. Irreverent, emotional and touchingly funny, "Talk To Me" will be a must-own DVD experience.

   PRELIMINARY BONUS FEATURES:     -- Who is Petey Greene?:  Actors and crew discuss the racial politics of       the 60s and 70s, and the change of social commentary in radio.    -- Recreating P-Town: This feature highlights the music, fashion and       production design of the film.    -- Deleted Scenes.    

SYNOPSIS: From acclaimed director Kasi Lemmons ("Eve's Bayou"), "Talk To Me" is the powerful, irreverent and very funny real-life story of Ralph Waldo 'Petey' Greene (played by Don Cheadle from "Crash" and "Hotel Rwanda"), an outspoken ex con who talked his way into becoming an iconic radio personality in the 1960s, in Washington, D.C. Sparked by both the era's vibrant soul music and exploding social consciousness, Petey openly courted controversy at a white-owned station. Relying on his producer Dewey Hughes to run interference, Petey's unprecedented tell-it- like-it-is on air style gave voice and spirit to his community during an exciting and turbulent period in American history.
