Unapologetic

After two Black Chicagoans are killed, millennial organizers challenge an administration complicit in state violence against its residents. Told through Janaé and Bella, two fierce abolitionist leaders, "Unapologetic" is a deep look into the Movement for Black Lives, from the police murder of Rekia Boyd to the election of Mayor Lori Lightfoot.
