On Tuesday, June 4th join FRONTLINE PBS, the Associated Press, and AIR Media at The Greene Space for an eye-opening event featuring unprecedented investigative journalism on police use of force.
“Documenting Police Use of Force” produced by FRONTLINE PBS and The Associated Press, in collaboration with the Howard Centers for Investigative Journalism, investigates the deaths that occurred after police used tactics like prone restraint and other “less-lethal force.” The documentary and accompanying reporting draw on police records, autopsy reports and body cam footage, offering the most expansive tally of such deaths nationwide.
After screening film segments, join the thought-provoking discussion about this important topic in the wake of the anniversary of George Floyd’s death, and the inflection point on justice and policing in America. This pivotal dialogue on law enforcement practices will provide an opportunity to gain insights, ask questions, and engage in a forum that will be meaningful and transformative.
