Joe Buffalo

The police killing of George Floyd on May 25th, 2020, sparked a global uprising. The epicenter was in director Cy Dodson's Minneapolis neighborhood, where he captures an immersive observation of unrest in the five days between the murder of Mr. Floyd and the announcement of charges filed against the police officers. <img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/eventive-static/1ddf0dc1918a66020429c67db591b4a5.jpg">

Say His Name: Five Days for George Floyd

In the wake of the 2015 Charleston Massacre, a battle erupts in Orangeburg, South Carolina between the Sons of Confederate Veterans and an ice cream shop owner forced to fly the Confederate flag in his parking lot. The film explores the broader role of Confederate symbolism in the 21st century and the lingering racial oppression which these symbols help maintain. HELP THE FILMMAKERS with feedback on this film.
