#AmeriCAN is a short film and public service announcement that 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. Powerful. Tragic. Short film by Nate Parker #AllLivesMatter Nate Parker – Director/Writer. James Lopez – Producer/Story By. Kay Madsen – Director of Photography. Valerie Bleth Sharp – Producer. Mo McRae – Producer/Actor. Hernany Perla – Producer. Featuring La La Anthony, Andre Royo, Affion Crockett, Brian White, Omar Benson Miller and David Franzoni Song by J.Cole – Be Free ***This short film had an effect on me similar to that of American Beauty. It highlights the tragic character of American society, plagued as it is with issues of race and class differences, issues that are usually not confronted directly in a culture of denial. The genre of a plague is never conclusive to one group and exclusive to another group; everyone is infected and affected by its outcome! And that very plague is for the most part how we think and profile others!
