Blackout: John Burris Speaks - A Film by Terence Nance

Описание: After the deaths of Eric Garner and Mike Brown at the hands of police last year, the United States came together in protest against police brutality towards the African-American community there. “I can’t breathe,” the last words uttered by Garner as he was choked to death, and “black lives matter,” became slogans, hashtags and battle cries as activists took to the streets. In this film by Terence Nance, American civil rights attorney John Burris, calls on everyone – the economic community, the business community, the social community and the faith community - to do something about it. “The lives that have been lost are important lives and they should not have been lost in vain,” he says. Do something.
