Filmmaker Ralph L. Crowder III documented the story of Mike Brown’s tragic death and the conditions of Ferguson, Missouri including the people, places, faces, and uprising of young black youth. On the day of Mike Brown's funeral in Ferguson, Missouri, there was an atmosphere of rest and calm in the people's struggle for justice. It created a unique opportunity for Freedom Radio News & Culture Television Network to engage a needed black perspective of media communication in which a video camera was on and captured a wide range of voices. The input on the death of Mike Brown and the uprising of young black youth is a centerpiece of discussion in this very important news documentary regarding the climate and conditions of Ferguson, Missouri. (Anywhere U.S.A.)

This program will include the documentary and a discussion facilitated by the filmmaker, attended by humanities scholars, community leaders, and the public. These events are free and open to the public.
