Get a timely look into the Movement for Black Lives through the lens of two fierce millennial organizers in Chicago. In the wake of the fatal police shooting of 22-year-old Rekia Boyd in 2015, spoken-word artist Bella and PhD candidate Janaé work tirelessly to rally the community and challenge a city administration unwilling to hold anyone accountable. Ashley O’Shay’s debut follows these courageous activists in their quest for political liberation, while also urgently foregrounding the importance of Black female and queer voices in social justice movements. Filmed over the course of five years, before the murder of George Floyd and anti-racism protests of 2020, Unapologetic is a stirring depiction of the realities of police violence and strength in the face of oppression.
