After four years of intentional filmmaking rooted deeply in community, @thepeopleswayfilm is making its World Premiere @docnycfest! This film follows three Black women — @toshira_nicole, @robin4mpls and @jeanelleaustin — in Minneapolis as they embark on interweaving journeys to care for their communities and forge a path toward inner healing in the wake of George Floyd’s murder. Their story is told through the lens of a community that built a movement at 38th and Chicago, the Minneapolis street corner where a global uprising emerged.

“I feel very strongly that every artist has one central story to tell. The struggle is to tell and re-tell that story over and over again in visual form... and try to challenge that story. But at the core that story remains the same. It’s like the defining story of who you are.” - Gregory Crewdson by @willtyner
