“Where Is Hope?” is a national documentary and CD mixtape project on police brutality against people with disabilities.
We are entering phase two of the project which involves traveling from NY to Berkley, California to do interviews with activists, victims and musicians with disabilities working on the CD mixtape by disabled artists nationally. We will also film a forum around the issue led by Krip Hop Nation founder with a physical disability Leroy Moore.
We have already filmed a forum at Syracuse University as well as interviews there and in Boston and Virginia with victims of profiling and police brutality in those states.
Police brutality in general has been on the rise nationally and less documented has been the increase in the incidents involving people with disabilities nationwide. We are raising money to cover the cost of travel, food and lodging for 3-5 days in San Francisco to do filming and interviews.
This project is extremely important to the many people with disabilities who are victims of police brutality and profiling but because of inadequate documentation by record reporters, they have become invisible victims.
Bringing more awareness to this national problem can help to bring some solutions and involvement to stem the rising incidents involving people with disabilities. Better methods employed by law enforcement along with more community involvement can help to save lives and bring about better relations with local law enforcement and the community of people with disabilities.
