Following the fatal shooting of young adult Michael Brown on August 9, 2014, by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson, several Disciples clergy and laypersons joined many others in community responses for justice in Ferguson and beyond. In cooperation with other Disciples, the National Benevolent Association (NBA) has supported efforts for justice and racial reconciliation in the St. Louis area by promoting and facilitating conversation, gathering, advocacy, and healing.

This documentary, "Injustice Anywhere," arose in the midst of collective conversations and work of several expressions of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), including key activist clergy and laypersons in the St. Louis area; the Christian Church of Mid-America; the Office of the General Minister and President; Reconciliation Ministry; Week of Compassion; Higher Education and Leadership Ministries; the National Convocation; and the National Benevolent Association (NBA), as well as Metropolitan Congregations United.

The NBA commissioned this gathering of stories after the death of Michael Brown in August 2014 on behalf of local Disciples seeking to respond to the crisis. The viewpoints presented here reflect a story of collective experiences from individuals impacted by the events in Ferguson and do not necessarily represent the views of these supporting organizations.

About the Film: "Injustice Anywhere"
Filmmaker Aziza Binti describes the documentary as such:
"Social justice is not just "their" problem; it's everyone's concern. We reference the quote from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.--'Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere'--to open the film and begin speaking with members of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) about their understanding that this is indeed everyone's issue--especially those who are truly Disciples of Christ."
