Whose Streets?

The small town of Ferguson has been inextricably linked to the Black Lives Matter movement and the fight against racism since 2014. At that time, the innocent and unarmed Michael Brown was shot dead by an on-duty police officer. WHOSE STREETS? follows the path of non-violent protests that activists have chosen to take, and shows with extraordinary intimacy what’s really happening on the streets. We see how the people behind the movement are faced with overwhelming state power and the authorities’ oppressive and excessive demands. The path is lined with a disproportionate number of law enforcement officers and one-sided media reports in which burning buildings seem more important than the life of a human being.
