BIG WIN FOR JUSTICE…AND ‘JUSTICE DENIED’
As part of the competition for the best student film worldwide, Justice Denied: the Film, was seen by more people than ever since its creation. (Film can be seen at www.justicedenied.com) By connecting the film, which describes the sordid state of America’s judicial system, with the protestors on the streets this weekend marching against police brutality, the toxic cocktail of where we stand as a nation was mixed and consumed by a world agape in disbelief. Everything once held sacred by our nation, including due process of law, integrity in policing, and in court proceedings, has seemingly been cast to the wind. We have become that against which we once fought.
