We Matter
Made by Women • 3m 55s
Directed by Sherrie Quannea
#WeMatter is a short film that strives to highlight the growing epidemic of police violence against people of color.

We hope that our film not only elicits an emotional response and encourages conversations of change, but inspires action.
