The Story:
Psychological stress weighs heavy on a black cop when the rookie's loyalty is challenged by the badge he represents in a predominantly white precinct within a racially charged Black neighborhood he protects. The death of a childhood friend at the hand of a white cop pins the young officer against his pregnant wife, a legal advocate for victims of injustice; senior officers who stand by the ways of the old guard; and a defiant teenager who he is trying to save form being a casualty of the streets or a cops gun. The gripping story lines, high stakes and dynamic characters in "Black in Blue" forces us to consider the power in the justice system and explores what it truly means to have justice for all. #Alllivesmatter #Blacklivesmatter #Ourlivesmatter
The Impact:
BLACK IN BLUE is a dramatic feature film that explores the current racial tensions between the police and those they have sworn to protect. This heartfelt masterpiece bridges the gap between police officers and urban communities across the country. The Writer pulls no punches from either side of the issues when dealing with race, civil rights, loss, love, corruption, redemption, and forgiveness. This film takes the awareness our nation has been forced into and ignites it, motivating real change within the police force and in our communities.
