Inside The Ferguson Uprising - Sabaah Folayan, Director of "Whose Streets?"

Inflection Point with Lauren Schiller

This is a special re-airing in recognition of the 5th anniversary of the Ferguson, MO protests.

When Michael Brown was shot by a police officer in Ferguson, MO in August, 2014 and the protests began, Sabaah Folayan felt the media’s coverage was overly focused on the looting, rioting and property damage, and not nearly enough on the stories of the people who rose up. So she dropped everything and went to Ferguson to see for herself what was happening on the ground and to talk with the people who live there. The result is her documentary film “Whose Streets?” She shares what it was like to be there and how she made her film in such extraordinary circumstances. We spoke in 2017 when "Whose Streets?" first debuted.
