Tackling a very heavy subject matter with ease actor Nate Parker (Beyond the Lights) steps behind the camera to write and direct PSA short #AmeriCAN. With a song provided by J.Cole the short film comes in response to events that have divided the country over racial lines. With the influx of violence against black males in America over the past few years, the piece strives to offer a unique perspective in examining the value of lives of the country’s citizens. The intention of the message, “all lives matter,” is to pull people together from both sides of the disparity and inspire the kind of empathy and mutual understanding necessary to promote meaningful discourse and domestic reconciliation.
The goal is to bring all people together, without exception to race, religion, gender or age, and send the message that all blood flows red.
Prepare to be floored by the thought provoking and moving short.
ALL LIFE MATTERS.
