Spark: A Systemic Racism Story
Documentary Explores Racism’s Roots and Remedies, Offers Free Educational Access
Created by white allies for all allies, the documentary is an aggregator of interviews and clips of prominent racial justice advocates, providing historical context of policies and procedures that led to the oppression of the Black community. Spark also proposes pragmatic, creative remedies in policing, criminal justice, and society in both full-length and condensed forms.
The producers’ participation in a local demonstration sparked by the death of Mr. Floyd inspired the creation of a non-commercial educational documentary to encourage recognition of unconscious bias and show a path to unlearning the historical narrative that redefined an entire race, supporting authentic and effective white allies.
The documentary is presented in complete, abbreviated, and mini versions and can be viewed at www.spark-doc.com. Companies, academic institutions, and organizations are encouraged to utilize Spark as a tool to further the cause of creating a more equitable society designed for the success of all.
