This Month's Film Selection
Lights of Baltimore (2020) - In 2015, an unarmed Black man named Freddie Gray died in police custody in Baltimore. The video of his arrest immediately circulated on social media and news networks, and the brutality displayed sparked a protest movement on the streets of Baltimore. Six police officers in connection with Freddie Gray's death were charged, but in the end juries returned no guilty verdicts. With immersive detail and frank talk from community members, activists, academics, and police, LIGHTS OF BALTIMORE explores discriminatory social policies, implicit bias, and mass surveillance, while celebrating the resilience of the people who knew Gray and the determined activism of the communities in which he shared. Far from being an isolated incident, Freddy Gray’s murder was rooted in a long history of racialized policing in Baltimore and the U.S. This film documents that history and lends an ear to Baltimore citizens’ search for a new way forward.
