, a new documentary from Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated filmmaker Stanley Nelson and co-director Valerie Scoon, which will premiere exclusively on Hulu on August 11th, following a special preview screening at the BlackStar Film Festival and an official world premiere at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival.
From the origins of the first police forces in the South during slavery to the mob violence that erupted against African Americans in the North after the great migration to the more recent high-profile cases forever etched in America’s collective consciousness,tells the story of a troubled, complex and volatile relationship and exactly how the country got here. The documentary also looks at contemporary efforts to confront and resolve that conflict.
Scoon added that “it’s been a rewarding experience working with Stanley and Firelight Films on this project. While much of my work as a director and producer has engaged with African American history, this film is particularly personal. Stanley and I are both parents of young adults, and that perspective has informed the importance we place on examining the history of the relationship between law enforcement and the Black community.
