When heavily armed campus police broke into the University of Florida
campus apartment of disabled and unarmed Ghanaian doctoral student
Kofi Adu-Brempong, and within a minute of entry shot him in the face,
his life was forever changed. Yet the officer who shot him, who had
previously been caught cruising through town throwing eggs at
residents of a Black neighborhood, was neither suspended nor fired.
This documentary is about the ongoing pattern of police brutality
against Blacks and the dangers of over militarized campuses. It is
about student protests that led to the administration dropping charges
against Kofi and about continuing student efforts to revoke SWAT-like
teams on campus and to establish police review boards.
