Description

More than 4 1/2 years in the making, award-winning filmmakers A.J. Ali and Errol Webber present the red-carpet WORLD PREMIERE of the film WALKING WHILE BLACK: L.O.V.E. Is The Answer. This powerful film about reconciliation and putting love into action is the launch of a movement to improve relations between peace officers and the communities they serve.


Following the film premiere, Pastor Joseph Metoyer of ACTS Church in Venice will host a Q&A with the filmmakers and featured experts, including:

  • AJ Ali, Hollywood FAME Award-Winning Producer & Director

  • Errol Webber, Oscar-Winning Producer & Director of Photography

  • Cheryl Dorsey, Retired LAPD Sergeant & Author

  • Johnnie Adams, Santa Monica College Chief of Police


ATTIRE

Formal. Dress to impress on the red carpet. There will be cameras galore, especially when you get on the red carpet and when you're in front of the step and repeat wall! For men, that means a tux, a dark suit, or something stylishly black. For the ladies, now's the time to splurge on that new dress and pair of shoes you've been eyeing at your favorite store.


SYNOPSIS

Instances of racial profiling plague minority communities on a daily basis. Director, A.J. Ali is no stranger to this phenomenon. When he and his wife were targeted for harassment by police numerous times in Howard County, Maryland, he was forced to take a stand. Though his attempts at achieving justice through channels offered by the system went unrewarded, he refused to let go of the dream that a solution to the problem could be found. He went on a quest for truth and reconciliation, which led him to find living examples of love in action. "Walking While Black: L.O.V.E. Is The Answer" presents proven action steps to bridge the painful gap between peace officers and the communities they serve. L.O.V.E. is an acronym for Learn about the community and the people in it, Open your heart to the humanity of people in the community, Volunteer yourself to be part of the solution, and Empower others to do the same. Featuring interviews with peace officers, faith leaders, educators, activists and others, the film offers an inspiring blueprint to end racial profiling and heal our communities.
