About this film

An exploration of fear and its effects, this documentary chronicles the events surrounding a 2010 police shooting at UF. Potential racial profiling, an apparent lack of understanding regarding mental health, and fear of the unknown seem to contribute to Kofi, a black student from Ghana, being shot repeatedly in his own apartment.
