Strong Island
Directed by Yance Ford
Produced by Final Cut for Real, yanceville films
A deeply personal, intellectually rigorous documentary that uses a family's grief over an unsolved murder to interrogate systemic racism, injustice, and the lasting trauma of loss.
Examining the violent death of the filmmaker’s brother and the judicial system that allowed his killer to go free, this documentary interrogates murderous fear and racialized perception, and re-imagines the wreckage in catastrophe’s wake, challenging us to change.
