Whose Streets?

Whose Streets? (2017)

Documental sobre los sucesos de 2014 ocurridos en Ferguson, Misouri, cuando el joven afroamericano Michael Brown, de 18 años, murió abatido por los disparos de Darren Wilson, un agente de policía blanco. El dolor, la tensión prolongada y la rabia llevó a los residentes de algunos barrios a celebrar una vigilia en protesta por la tragedia. En los días siguientes, artistas, músicos, maestros y padres se convirtieron en “luchadores por la libertad”, resistiendo, enfrentándose a la Guardia Nacional, exigiendo justicia. Para esta generación, la batalla no fue por los derechos civiles, sino por el derecho a vivir.

Curiosidades

Whose Streets? is a 2017 American documentary film about the killing of Michael Brown and the Ferguson uprising. Directed by Sabaah Folayan and co-directed by Damon Davis, Whose Streets? premiered in competition at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, then was released theatrically in August, 2017, for the anniversary of Brown's death. It was a nominee for Critics' Choice and Gotham Independent Film awards.

Development

Folayan, Davis and their cinematographer Lucas Alvarado Farrar (who had been one of Folayan's college classmates at Columbia University) began work on the project in 2014 when Folayan and Farrar traveled to Ferguson, Missouri during the protests and riots that followed police officer Darren Wilson's killing of Michael Brown. Davis, a St. Louis-based artist, was already at work documenting the events.

The project was selected for production support in a series of Sundance Institute programs: the Documentary Edit and Story Lab, its Music & Sound Design Lab: Documentary, and its Creative Producing Summit. It also won support from the MacArthur Foundation, the Ford Foundation, and the Tribeca Film Institute.
