How do you further segregate an already separated country? You politicize its lack of empathy and compassion. It is no secret that murder is immoral and plain vile, especially at the hands of someone who has vowed to be a protector. There is also no furtive nature to the public’s examination of police officers and their seemingly dependable tendencies to kill black men. At least not these days. It is there, out in the open. So there is no mystery as to why the recent murder of a black man named George Floyd by a white, Minneapolis, police officer was so extremely effective at further dividing an already detached state. When the same glaring action is detailed and reproduced over and over on a virtual stage for all to see, rage steps in and heads are publicly lined up to soon be theoretically rolled, with no amount of mitigation available to placate the executor. Even further, amidst an election year (and… ahem, a pandemic) the public is being forced to pick a side in the battle, if they hadn’t already. Leaving few to settle in the middle avoiding private, and sometimes public, scrutiny and a subsequent characterization as either a racist or a publicly correct puppet. This sweet spot, however, is exactly where we plan to land, and it is with these elements in mind that we set out to ask some questions. Just questions. No theme, story arc, or filmmakers point of view was intended or sought out. In fact, what originally was anticipated quickly reversed itself into something unexpected. The questions centered around this: Why do so many black men die at the hands of police officers? Why do police officers feel misunderstood and act defensively whenever the circumstance comes up? Can emotion be put aside to solve something so, well, emotional? The answers we found aren’t much of answers at all. How do you answer a question like, “how do we end racism”, anyway? Instead what we found was ideas; a group representation of where we go from here. Ultimately we ended each interview with the same question, “can we unite”, and not in a blissful dreamer’s fashion but rather in a rational, socially conscious manner. What we found is as follows, Headway.
