    ==============

    “Combining archival footage with testimony from activists and scholars, director Ava DuVernay’s examination of the U.S. prison system looks at how the country’s history of racial inequality drives the high rate of incarceration in America.

    This piercing, Oscar-nominated film won Best Documentary at the Emmys, the BAFTAs and the NAACP Image Awards.”

    This one is also, in a way, a policing story.

    “The history of the Stonewall Riots is equally as cherished as it is charged. There are questions of who was there, who “threw the first brick” and who can claim Stonewall. This film doesn’t answer these questions but instead it aims to expand the story of Stonewall by including more voices in its telling.

    Stonewall Forever, the documentary, brings together voices from over 50 years of LGBTQ activism to explore the ongoing legacy of Stonewall.”

    Interesting point at the 43 minute mark:
    “You can tell the story of white leadership in America, and never mention the FBI one time. You cant tell the story of black leadership, not once, without having to deal with the full weight of the criminal justice system weaponized against black dissent.”
