Hope for the new year 💯

What a test of our resolve and courage this year has been for all of us!
The week between Christmas and the New Year is always my favorite week of the year as it's a time for honest reflection, gratitude, and HOPE for what is to come.
Each day we continue to work hard to distribute The Long Shadow to as wide an audience as possible. But honestly, much work remains to be done to open the eyes of white people to continuing institutional anti-black racism and the economic inequality in the African-American community and other communities of color.
This is why our film is so important. In just one 75-minute viewing, The Long Shadow clearly outlines the WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN, and WHY this remains so. Our film is sparking REAL change because YOU continue to share it.
With love and gratitude for you ALL, I wish you the best in 2021! Onward!
