Director’s Statement

A Personal Stake.

“I have a true personal stake in this topic as a person of color.”

I feel that I share a personal connection with the families included in the film. I saw firsthand what this abuse of power does to a family (my own) when I was 8 years old seeing my father severely beaten by deputies. I also saw my mother handcuffed in the 100-degree heat in Texas for hours. Those images are still with me some 60-plus years later. This makes me uniquely qualified to bring the humanity, expertise, and impact necessary to produce this film.

One in 1,000 Black men in America can expect to be killed by a police officer. I am a grandfather to three young Black boys, I think about the entire generations that have been taken away from their futures, never to sit at a holiday dinner nor go on to raise their own children. I don’t want this for my family or anyone else.

Qualified immunity shields police and government officials from liability by requiring proof that an official violated “clearly established law” — putting the burden on victims to find an identical court case that found the action unconstitutional.

This key element of the architecture of impunity amplifies police power and keeps them above the law and disproportionately impacts those targeted by law enforcement: people of color, Black people, Indigenous people, people with disabilities, unhoused individuals, and LGBTQ+ individuals.

The film will feature an open and honest dialogue between law enforcement and the community, including multiple community members who have been directly impacted by the use of force. “Resisting” will reach white communities and/or allies to educate and inspire them toward holding policymakers, police, and community members accountable. Escalating the use of force by representatives of the law, against community members, affects us all.
