THE COLOR OF JUSTICE

A deadly choke hold

Synopsis

In July 2014, Eric Garner, a black American, died in the street after being violently arrested by an NYC Police officer who is seen pulling him to the ground and choke holding him. His death was recorded in an amateur video that shows him telling repeatedly “I can’t breathe”.

Five months later, a grand jury declined to indict the policeman because of insufficient proof and the case was dismissed.

A few years later, a legal team conducted a mock trial to rectify this denial of justice.
