[episode cut] CYCLE Documentary Sheds Light on Forgotten Victims of Police Violence

This month, on Laura Flanders & Friends, we’re taking a closer look at criminal justice—through the lens of abolition, accountability, and the power of the creative arts to tell fuller, truer stories. This week we'll explore a new documentary, CYCLE, that's breaking the silence around police killings.

Description: Laura Flanders sits down with the directors of CYCLE, a newly-released investigative feature documentary that focuses on the 2019 killing of Ty’rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager from Racine, Wisconsin who was shot to death after being pulled over by a Mount Pleasant police officer for riding a bicycle with no headlights.

Guests:

• William Howell: Co-Director, CYCLE

• Laura Dyan Kezman: Director, Editor & Producer, CYCLE
