In celebration of Black History Month, I'm offering one extra credit point for attending and writing a short blog post about the award-winning documentary film, WHOOSE STREETS?
University Programs is hosting the film and offering a FREE screening on campus!
The blog post should share a short write-up on context (who made the film, when, why, how), content (what is about) and form (how the story is told - story structure, way it is filmed, use of music, analysis of key scene or something along this lines). Post should be shared by Feb 16th at noon to receive credit.
Friday, Feb 9 at 6 pm
Ferguson Student Center Theater
Synopsis: Told by the activists and leaders who live and breathe this movement for justice, Whose Streets? is an unflinching look at the Ferguson uprising. When unarmed teenager Michael Brown is killed by police and left lying in the street for hours, it marks a breaking point for the residents of St. Louis, Missouri. Grief, long-standing racial tensions and renewed anger bring residents together to hold vigil and protest this latest tragedy.
Empowered parents, artists, and teachers from around the country come together as freedom fighters. As the national guard descends on Ferguson with military grade weaponry, these young community members become the torchbearers of a new resistance. Filmmakers Sabaah Folayan and Damon Davis know this story because they are the story. Whose Streets? is a powerful battle cry from a generation fighting, not for their civil rights, but for the right to live.
