    The fact that this is what goes on. Rest in peace to Janayah Thompson 5 year old who was missing in Gulfport MS, the police refused to put out an amber alert because the parents did not have a vehicle description -so the community came together and searched. She was later found in a vacant trailer. This film speaks volumes.

      GLOBALLY!
      I need people in the US to STOP using the term "minorities" about themselves. That term alone is chipping away at the self worth of the psyche. Being a statistical ethnic minority is one thing but to describe a human being as an actual minority is so loaded. It hurts to read it so I can only imagine what it does to someone being referred to that day after that to the point where the individual takes ownership of the label and uses it on themselves and their loved ones. Language is powerful.

    The part when she hung the pictures over the television was deep. Her mother was expressing how through she was with everyone that claimed to be helping the family and how bias the media is against us. This was such a good piece. Very moving.

    OMG!!!! This literally has me in tears! The last reporter comment is what really got me. Now that her daughter has died it's makes more a urgent matter to find white teenager Jennifer. Smdh it shouldn't be this way. We're not guinea pigs for experiments! How many pple have to be sacrificed. Good short film!

    a flood of emotions and things came to my mind... but as I went to leave a comment I seen four disliked this video. Disliked. Really? I'm pretty sure I know what type of people they are. smdh.
    This short film is the truth 100%. it's a little 8 year old girl from my neighborhood that's been missing. No news coverage no amber alert. I can hear her muffled scream still in my ear. 😢😭😭😭

    Oh my goodness the emotions I felt while watching this. I was pleasantly surprised to see Chandra Wilson aka Miranda Bailey playing the mom; said "umph, Malcolm Jamal Warner still look good! Go on with your fine self!"; said "ain't that a damn shame" when the blonde haired missing teen got an amber alert; ugly cried when the mother found out here child was dead and figured Chandra must have gone to a deep, real place and imagined her own children to pull out such emotion; and got LIVID and wanted to run over (reverse and run over again!) every single reporter on her front porch asking her those dumb arse questions. Wow, all of those feelings in under 20 minutes! Great episode and unfortunately real life for many families of color.

    WOW..... I'm actually crying. This has definitely touched my heart. Brandi Ford has done a great job with writing this epic emotional piece.

I pray that things will be better than what it is now

    This was a great short film and the acting was phenomenal. It's so sad that many African American families have to go through such nonsense for no reason at all. The emotions felt in this short film are very real, and I know because I lost my nephew last year. This was great please keep up the good work.
