Filmmaker Byron Hurt recites the emotions of many in this short tribute to police violence victim Sean Bell. Here Hurt calls for action in the face of adversity, using footage from mass protests organized in New York for the anniversary of this tragedy, a vibrant call to action is put forth. What morals do the stories and names teach us? What lessons can we learn from Sean Bell, and even more immediately, why does the name Oscar Grant ring out in a similar fashion so soon after?

I believe this film is important because it conveys a reality too prevalent in today's society.
