Letter: To America, with Love (A Conversation Between A Father & Son)
Directed by Shana Gagnon, Andrew Retland2021 51mDocumentary
This is a journey through the eyes of the African American male who struggles with the history of the National Anthem after witnessing police brutality in his neighborhood. While taking time to have a conversation with his father, (a decorated United States Air Force Veteran); Andrew takes the audience through an informative experience of trauma-healing and restoration for peaceful civil rights activism. The intention is to educate - by helping people gain awareness of the undercurrent of the systemic racism America has yet to purge. The audience should have a new take on black grassroots in pursuit of their patriotism and feel empowered to join in on the fight for equal basic human rights.
