  1. Chris, when would be a time to release a film like this? My thought after seeing it was that a lot had changed in 50 years — except for things like white police killing young black men and not facing punishment for it. And the way so many, who could have stepped in abrogated their responsibilities.

    I suspect the real audience for the film is not the African American community who already know that this reality continues, but the rest of us who need to recognize ourselves in the story.

    1. I second that. Also, being black female, I thought this was the perfect time to release the film for the very reason that these issues are on people’s minds. There is a whole generation of people that want to understand some of the problems that exist within the system and they want to engage it while it “feels” current and close to home. It’s easy for some to make light of something that isn’t in your face.
