    Description

    WORLD PREMIERE After the #BlackLivesMatter movement sees an international tipping point in the summer of 2020, three young Minneapolis community leaders intersect in their local activism to preserve the legacy of George Floyd, fight systemic injustice, and strive for meaningful change. Jeanelle and her team of caretakers work to transform offerings from the recent uprising into artifacts for the Black historical archive; Robin works to replace the police with a new approach to community safety; and Toshira focuses on demanding justice and accountability for lives stolen by policing.  These committed women find they must dig deep to disrupt complacency and reconcile nuanced contradictions within their own communities. – Jaie Laplante

    The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with film subject Jeanelle Austin, film subject Robin Wonsley, film subject Toshira Garraway, co-director Ashley Tyner, and co-director William Tyner.


    All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
