ABOUT:
Eric Garner’s death in 2014 at the hands of the NYPD helped spark a nationwide movement for police reform. One year later, his family has settled a wrongful death lawsuit with New York City, but they aren’t satisfied that justice has been served. We directed and produced this award-winning short film for AJ+, Al Jazeera’s digital network. The film was named a Vimeo “Staff Pick” and was featured on Huffington Post, Colorlines, and NPR.
