‘Unjustified’ is a short film that exposes the realities of shifting paradigms of race and privilege. When a Black police officer shoots and kills a white teenager and the domino effects of a corrupt justice system. Told from the flipped perspective of white people in a system that does not look like them, and how deeply rooted injustice is planted in systems of power. When a young white teenager is shot and killed by a black police officer, the family is thrust into a vortex of emotions and hard truths about the world we live in. Not only up against a predominantly black police department, but also high ranking officials in the justice system who are also Black, will the family weather the racial storm and finally receive justice for their son?
