Black Lives Matter - A Change Will Come

After the recent death of George Floyd, I want to dedicate a Memoriam of the many black people in this country who have been victims of generations of institutional racism. I used the song " A Change Is Gonna Come " because I believe one day that people, as long as they fight, will continue to make strides in making sure that people of all colors are human beings and should also be treated as such.

Director Biography - Justin Diaz

Justin Diaz is a filmmaker, actor, and martial artist. After he was no longer able to continue as a Taekwondo Instructor due to the COVID - 19, he decided to pursue filmmaking as a career in order to focus on political issues, martial arts, and to also entertain even in the midst of these difficult times. After traveling, he has become enamored with what is unknown to him. He believes filmmaking is a good method to explore and reflect.

His next project will focus on indigenous rights, particularly the tribe that he is a descendant of, the Mapuches. He hopes to use film in order to advocate the protection of indigenous land from a national government that intends to take over for unjust and cruel reasons.

Justin believes filmmakers have an essential obligation to preserve the voice of their generation in an accurate and creative manner.
