"When I first started working at Sundance in 2017, I heard stories about Sabaah and Damon, the co-directors of Whose Streets?, who had shaken up the prestigious Doc Edit & Story lab earlier that summer with their rejection of ‘objectivity’ in the killing of an unarmed Black teenager by a police officer. They were my heroes. Their film weaves together early social media and testimony by experts of their own experience to expose racist state violence against American citizens exercising their rights to grieve, gather, and protest. Whose Streets is a powerful moving image memorial to Black life and revolutionary love. This summer marks 10 years since Michael Brown, Jr. was murdered in broad daylight. Don’t look away.""
