Director Statement
Representation is irreplaceable in telling the stories of diverse America. Growing up in the community affected by this tragedy provided us access and insight unavailable to others. Carefully recording the personal devastation of a community, in the community’s words, results in a record of the George Floyd killing, and its aftermath, that is both timeless and timely. Artistically conceived, the viewer becomes an eye-witness to the latest chapter in a terrible history.
