After the murder of George Floyd in May of 2020, violent civil unrest and riots erupted in the City of Minneapolis' Lake Street business corridor, resulting in the burning of entire properties and businesses. Most impacted individuals (business owners) were black and Latinx immigrants.
To alleviate the voices of the unseen and the voiceless black immigrant business owners, Director/Producer Abdu Rahman of City of Nations Storytelling studio (CNSS) produced a documentary film about the experiences and stories of East African business owners.
