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. Grief and long-standing racial tensions bring residents together to protest this tragedy, as the National Guard descends on their community.

Chronicling the protests that follow the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, Sabaah Folayan and Damon Davis’s unflinching documentary lends a voice to a grieving community. Featuring a wealth of amateur footage, the film is a raw, ground-level look at the escalation of state violence.
