A Cry for Help

When a man of color is convicted of a crime he did not commit, his life and death hang in the hands of a woman too afraid to stand for truth. Project Overview: A CRY FOR HELP is an intimate look at the destructive power of white privilege and the impact of white silence on black incarceration told in a dramatic short film format. Lensed in black and white, reminiscent of classic films like TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, it's an American tragedy right out of the headlines. A cautionary tale that shines a sad light on the tragic destruction of an American family by the fear and indifference of an otherwise caring witness to a crime that never really happened. - IMDb
