Stop
Posted on YouTube by Iris. This video was created by African American and Puerto Rican filmmaker Reinaldo Marcus Green. This video was inspired by the death of Trayvon Martin. Green told the magazine Remezcla that “Stop was born out of these tragic events. It was made to address injustices within our communities and what we can do about them. I wanted to create a scenario where ‘it could’ve been you’ so that for just a moment we could all relate to what happens to this young man as he’s walking home from practice.”
