About the Project

An explosive video goes viral, showing a white school resource officer in South Carolina throw a Black teenager from her school desk. An outraged nation divides over who is at fault and what role race played in the incident. Healer-Activist Vivian Anderson uproots her life to help the girl and dismantle the system behind the "Assault at Spring Valley," including facing the police officer. Against the backdrop of a racial reckoning and its deep historical roots, one incident illuminates a persistent American power structure.
