Experiencing Interruptions?

#SeeTheBoy

Research shows that African American boys are more likely to be seen as adults by the police than boys of other races. #SeeTheBoy explores this phenomena and how a perfect day in the park ended for a young African American boy.

This silent film was inspired by the music of Chad Eric Smith and Tamir Rice, a black child killed by police in Cleveland, Ohio.
