For docs, there's 'Who Killed Vincent Chin' which is really good. 'Crisis' is a classic, though it focuses on the Kennedys implementing their civil rights program against the backlash from Southern States, not the work of the ground roots rights organizers.
For inner-city folks versus the police: there's a guy in L.A. (I think) named Matthew McDaniel who has made a series of videos called 'Cop Watch.' John Gianvito had him at the Flaherty he programmed in 2003. John might still be in touch with him. Your friend might also look at 'C.S.A' by Kevin Wilmott, a fake doc about what contemporary culture might look l;ike if the South had won the Civil War, with the 'joke' revealed at the end that all the ridiculous stuff shown was derived from actual elements of Jim Crow America up into uncomfortably recent time. _______________________________________________ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
