Michael B. Jordan, Marc Lamont Hill And Danny Glover Star In Powerful Police Brutality PSA.
“Black is not a weapon” a simple message which lies at the heart of a new short film “Against The wall”, directed by Gerard Bush & Christopher Renz, starring Michael B. Jordan, Danny Glover, and Michael K. Williams. Black-and-white PSA humanizes Black life as it’s caught in the crosshairs of police brutality and state violence.
Actors are standing against a wall to a soundscape of news reports, TV commentators and 911 calls about police encountering black men. At one point, the screen goes dark to the sound of bullets. PSA was created for Harry Belafonte’s social justice organization, Sankofa.
“We thought it would prove powerful to place these celebrated people in the same positions that too many within the black community face — being forced against the wall, hands up, on the ground and eventually shot dead by police,” Bush said. “You can see and feel the same pain, bewilderment, fear, humiliation in the faces of these celebrated people, as you could imagine would have been on the faces of the victims themselves.”
