Conscientious Projector’s documentary screening for the month of August will be the acclaimed documentary #BlackLivesMatter.
Producer/correspondent Sally Sara visits blighted inner city neighborhoods in Baltimore and Chicago for candid, emotional interviews with family and friends of young victims and various issue advocates, community leaders and public officials, including New Jersey Senator Cory Booker.
“What we’re seeing is the birth of a mass movement.” So declares educator/activist and Black Lives Matter spokesperson in #BlackLivesMatter, a vivid, probing examination of the far-reaching grassroots response to police killings of African-Americans in cities across the United States and their grossly disproportionate imprisonment in an unjust criminal justice system.
