Summer 2017, a string of brutal police killings of young African American men has sent shockwaves
throughout the country. A Black community in the American South tries to cope with the lingering effects
of the past and navigate their place in a country that is not on their side. Meanwhile, the Black Panthers
prepare a large-scale protest against police brutality. A blistering meditation on the state of race in America
from the director of THE OTHER SIDE.
