Beyond Black and White
Beyond Black & White investigates the African-American perspective of the criminal justice system, using the issues arising from the celebrated O.J. Simpson trial as a springboard. A broad sample of African-Americans express their views. The motivating question of the film: Why did so many blacks stand up and cheer upon hearing the verdict, while so many whites felt shock and outrage?
Intriguing. The voices in Beyond are relevant and infrequently heard. For those looking for insight on the trial’s lasting consequences, Beyond fits like a glove.”
