"Whose Streets" Doc of Officer Killing of Michael Brown Sparking Righteous Protests and Violent Riotings

"Whose Streets" is an in-depth documentary of the "Black Lives Matter" movement that grew out of the St Louis' police officer killing of Michael Brown, Jr., Aug.  '14.   I take the liberty of using the term killing. The film's dir/producer, Sabaah Folayan, wisely avoids calling Brown's death a slaying.    Folayan covers the aftermath of righteous outrage at Brown's killing & the fury against the officer wrongly exonerated.  Folayan makes a fierce & in-depth doc. of despair, anger, grief, love & empowerment tragically born of yet, another unarmed young man of color being gunned down.  This is an intelligent & humane insight into the lives of Ferguson, MO residents who will not go quietly into the night and are taking a forceful & united stand against police brutality, racism & pacifism. The significance of Folayan's doc. conveys an indefatigable stand against police brutality & hatred.  With her directorial debut, Folayan has made a doc. with the powerful eloquence of Baldwin, Angelo, & Hughes.  Nonetheless, it is yet another retelling of the systematic & constant denial of humanity.  News footage captures the events as they occurred revealing the immediate aftermath of Brown's mother's grief and expands into the mounting, fearless movement advocating for justice & equality still being denied to all Americans; especially people of color.  Again we see rage boil over into destruction & looting as seen in the 1992 LA riots.   The media's coverage of military police and the nat'l guard is as disturbing as it is incredulous.  The film covers the timeline of events beginning in August 2014 and immerses itself into the lives of several individuals & their families who are relentless in asserting a movement "that is not my father's civil rights movement."  But it harkens back to discrimination & oppression.  "Don't shoot, hands up! Black lives matter." Don't doubt the power of this thoughtful & disturbing film to evoke change for justice too long in coming.  "Whose Streets" is to be viewed by everyone.  Everyone must claim the essential right for non-violent protests.   "We must love and support each other.  We have nothing to lose but our chains."
