The documentary revisits the aftermath of George Floyd's murder, exploring the rapid global response ignited by the Black Lives Matter movement. It starts with footage from the incident, highlighting events in the UK, including protests and the toppling of Edward Colston's statue, within the context of the ongoing fight against systemic racism. Through various voices, the film aims to capture the historical and contemporary struggles against police violence and societal racism, underscoring the urgency for continued activism in response to racial injustice.
Its focus is mainly on the UK side of the story, but it begins and ends in the US; first with police bodycam footage of that fateful day in Minneapolis.
Just two weeks later, Edward Colston's statue was being pulled down in Bristol and chucked in the harbour.
