A Great Call to Action and Deeper Thought
1 July 2020
Really insightful. This doc is asking all the right questions of Americans and our institutions. I found it interesting that Sandra's messages resonate so well with people across races. Her voice calls for friendship across racial divides and a better understanding of each other (as she put it, more black people need white friends and more white people need black friends). I did not find her words or this documentary's purpose was to "incite" but rather to "unite", as she says so eloquently in her online videos prior to her death. I also thought it gave an accurate depiction of the law enforcement involved and did unfairly portray them. We are called to stop and think when we see the video of the police officer removing her from her vehicle, the escalating situation, and her senseless death. Sandra Bland's death is still surrounded in mystery, but she will not be forgotten. I think the title of the film resonates will all humans. If I had known Sandy, I'd like to think we would have been friends.
