I'm proud of this film and grateful for the noise its going to make in the world Grateful for the team of artists and organizing that's making the work and the reach of this message expand. But more than that. It's impossible to surmise the Deep gratitude and pain This film is both a journal entry And a prayer And a love letter to my brother And to all my sisters and brothers And mothers And fathers Who have Daughters and sons Who survive with mental illness And experience injustice And exploitation and are fed to the Prison industry This is for you Waday And for these very real people Who are more than a symbol More than a hash tag But their names must be said Must be spoken allowed With much thirst for vengeance For justice #tanishaanderson And Debbie And #jamalsutherland And #esiasjohnson And #darrenrainey And #danielprude And #damarisrodriguez And for so many many more And in some way also for you #gabrielwinzer And for my mother And every mother who ever had to... What I'm trying to say is This poem by @lucille_clifton Which is a reflection of this post Of this feeling "Won't you celebrate with me That everyday SOMETHING has tried To KILL ME AND HAS FAILED" #carenotcages
