We Turned Up. Don't Turn Down. This is for Mike Brown. N/A

In 2014, 18 year old Mike Brown Jr was killed by Police officer Darren Wilson on Canfield Drive in a municipality outside of St Louis that over-policed its Black citizens via disproportionate traffic fines and fees. This story gives voice to those closest to the events surrounding Ferguson. From the Brown family to law enforcement the film documents how "Mike-Mike's" death "blew the lid off" of decades of racial tension. Michael Brown Jr's tragic killing launched the Black Lives Matter Movement and showed America that Black death is a business.
