Uniform Justice

This is a short documentary I produced about Uniform Justice, a new original play created from a collaboration between TE’A at Intersections International, the Retaliatory Violence Insight Project (RVIP) at George Mason University, the Memphis Mayor’s Innovation Team’s “Gun Down” initiative, and the Hattiloo Theatre Company.

Set in Memphis, Tenn., the play tells the story of a community where police and civilians search for answers to the dilemma of retaliatory violence and the challenges police face in preventing it, the main barrier being the strained relationship between the two groups. Using the Insight approach, Uniform Justice was written and directed by Chukwuma Obasi, and based on conversations and experiences had with Memphis community and police over an 8-month period.
