Who We Are - Una cronaca del razzismo in America

This is a beautifully put together documentary. So heartbreaking to hear from the family members of the victims of police murders. It's also heartbreaking that so many of our fellow Americans have such an agenda to deny the many forms of racism that exist today. I hope we can all move forward with humanity as the goal instead of denying others experiences.

It has a 5.7 rating at this time, I don't get that! This was almost all new information to me, I'm glad I watched it. There are 1,000 stories under the sun, but it seems that too many of us are busy not listening to this story. Just listening, just hearing. I found his style of presentation and speaking easy to take.. about a bunch of things I didn't want to know. So that's a great job in my book.

This film should be compulsory viewing for every school kid in the United States.

As a Brit now living here I wanted to know exactly what this country's history is - this does this and is beyond uncomfortable.

What is it like to pick billions of pounds of cotton?

What is it like to lose life for being "too successful"?

Does luck look good?

This documentary relies on many relevant and clear facts along the history without needing to be opinionated or emotionally tiring. Because it is new, educational/informational, and thereby engaging, watching is quite easy and strongly recommended.

The reasons why this rating is not 10:

First, while this movie is impressive, I am not sure this artwork can reach beyond the audience who are already willing to be open. To reach the "unreachable" might take some more work, admittedly much more work sometimes.

Second, in addition to justice and empathy, adding a bit more hope, inspiration, or vision in appropriate amount should increase balance and encouragement, i.e., given the history, why is over the point plausible or not already lost now?

PS: There are many 1 ratings now, which shows there is still a lot more work to do.

Thanks!

I've seen this film and met Jeff - this is required viewing for anyone who is sincerely anti-racist and ready to become a part of the solution rather than the problem. If educating yourself is important to you than this is a great place to start.
