Director: Chris Jeske | Producer: Chris Jeske
Focus Years: 2011 | Country: United States
Synopsis:
Drawing national media attention on February 7, 2008, the Kirkwood City Council shooting has caused much despair and division. Years after the shooting, confusion is still prevalent.
Through the opinions, stories, and testimonies of those interviewed, the film provides a portrait of the conditions that contributed to the shooting at Kirkwood City Hall and have long contributed to racial tensions in Kirkwood. The film explores distinct topics including: the relationship between Kirkwood and the Meacham Park community in light of the annexation and redevelopment of Meacham Park, a look at Cookie Thornton from the perspective of long-time friends, and three powerful strategies for transformation in response to violence and racism.
The film culminates with the story of Cookie Thornton’s funeral, a story powerful enough to provide hope to all people working for racial justice and community transformation.
