Berkeley Copwatch Presents the Debut Film Screening of: "The Streets Are
Watching"
With Introduction by Cincinnati Copwatch founder Life Allah
"The Streets are Watching" takes a fresh look at police accountability
through the eyes of three communities; Denver, Cincinnati and Berkeley.
Independent filmmaker, Jacob Crawford, weaves three cities responses to
police brutality into a single tale of community empowerment and direct
action.
Within an amazing collection of real life footage of police conduct and
misconduct, the film conveys basic legal concepts that can provide
practical
help to groups and individuals seeking a clearer understanding of their
rights when dealing with police.
The film is divided into sections that explain individual rights,
tactics
for documenting police activity, ideas for further action and
organizing. In
addition, Cincinnati Copwatch founding member, Life Allah, will share
his
insights on the formation of Copwatch in the wake of the Cincinnati
unrest
of April 2000 and programs for justice based in the Over The Rhine
neighborhood.
This event is a benefit for Berkeley Copwatch and is open to the public.
Copies of the video will be available for purchase at the event.
