Process Message of ‘The People United’
Featuring over fifty (50) on-the-spot remarks, actions, and interviews from activists, politicians, and fringe groups on different political and ideological sides during several notable public demonstrations, The People United shines a light onto the of reasoning “Why” everyday individuals have chosen to march and protest against the troughs of a global pandemic, to demand change and accountability in the wake of the murder/death of George Floyd. This film takes us through the trepidation, the fears, the pride and love of people, standing up for what is ‘right.’
We wish to provide an answer as to ‘Why Black Lives Matter? Why All Lives Matter? And why must it be now to act, when it hasn’t been a priority to do so, for so long? Through the lens of our camera, this is the story of the people. The People, United!
