An intimate, community-centered documentary that bears witness to grief and resistance in Ferguson, grounded in the voices and lived experience of those who fought back.

A nonfiction account of the Ferguson uprising told by the people who lived it, this is an unflinching look at how the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown inspired a community to fight back—and sparked a global movement.
