Told by the activists and leaders who live and breathe this movement for justice, Whose Streets? is an unflinching look at the Ferguson uprising. When unarmed teenager Michael Brown was killed by police and left lying in the street for hours, it marked a breaking point for the residents of St. Louis, Missouri. Empowered parents, artists, and teachers from around the country came together as freedom fighters. For this generation, the battle is not for civil rights, but for the right to live.
