Gather@Grand Film Studies: Whose Streets?
Join us for our next discussion on Zoom on May 15.
Whose Streets? is a film told by the activists and leaders who lived and breathed a movement for justice. Whose Streets? is an unflinching look at the Ferguson uprising that occurred when unarmed teenager Michael Brown was killed by police and left lying in the street for hours.
It is a breaking point for the residents of St. Louis, Missouri who have suffered grief, long-standing racial tensions, and renewed anger. The murder of Michael Brown brings residents together for prayer vigils and protests. Empowered parents, artists, and teachers from around the country come together as freedom fighters. As the National Guard descends on Ferguson, Missouri with military-grade weaponry, these young community members become the torchbearers of a new resistance.
Filmmakers Sabaah Folayan and Damon Davis know this story because they are the story. Whose Streets? is a powerful battle cry from a generation fighting, not for their civil rights, but for the right to live.
