DESCRIPTION:9/28/16 at 7pm in Piedmont, 10/2/16 at 3pm in Oakland\n\nOn November 23, 
 2012, four boys in a red SUV pull into a gas station after spending time at 
 a mall buying sneakers and talking to girls.  With music blaring, one boy 
 exits the car and enters the store, a quick stop, for a soda and a pack of 
 gum.  A man and a woman pull up next to the boys in the station, making a 
 stop for a bottle of wine.  The woman enters the store and an argument 
 breaks out when the driver of the second car asks the boys to turn the 
 music down.  3 1/2 minutes and ten bullets later, one of the boys is 
 dead.\n\nThis riveting documentary is one story of the devastating effects 
 of racial bias and the search for justice.  Negative portrayals of black 
 men and boys in the media lead to irrational fears; these implicit biases 
 can prove deadly.  The film dissects the aftermath of this fatal encounter 
 using powerful footage which shows intimate scenes with the boy's parents, 
 police interrogation footage, and interviews with others at the scene that 
 night.  You are on the edge of your seat during the trial testimonies.  We 
 chose this film to bring audiences into the discussion of racial bias and 
 gun violence.\n\n6:30 pm reception\n7:00 film\n8:30 -9 community

 Festival Winner of Special Jury Prize for Social Impact: "If you have paid 
 any attention to the news, you know that we are a nation in crisis.  As a 
 jury, we feel it is important to recognize a film that because of the close 
 collaboration between the filmmakers and their subjects, lets the audience 
 examine that crisis, consider the consequences of that crisis, and invites 
 us all to consider this very difficult question  why are young black men 
 the objects of fear? This documentary matters."\n\nFree. no RSVP.\n
