Boston, MA, June 04, 2024 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Crosby Tatum’s latest film, The People, United, will be will be making its World Premiere at the 2024 edition of the Roxbury International Film Festival on Friday, June 21, 2024 at 5PM at The Museum of Fine Arts, 465 Huntington Avenue, Boston, MA 02115.
Set in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd, Tatum’s cinematic diary visually captures the raw, yet sprawling events, speeches, opinions, and actions of protestors on differing sides, calling for change during a global pandemic, and a contentious U.S. election season.
The film features over fifty (50) “on-the-spot” remarks from protestors and demonstrators. It also features remarks from Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), family members of Mr. George Floyd, Jacob Blake, Trayvon Martin, Terrence Coleman, Eurie Stamps Sr., and others. The People, United is written, produced, scored, & directed by Tatum, and Produced by Tressa Epps.
“This was one of the hardest films I’ve ever made,” Tatum states as he reflects on the making of his film. “I was working at a hospital while driving for Uber Eats and Doordash during the 1st wave of the pandemic. The murder of George Floyd deeply affected me. Coupled with the experiences at my job, and the visuals of people protesting against police brutality personally pushed me over the top.”
He adds, “At that point, seeing the passion from everyone, made me pick up my own camera and decided to tell the story about the people seeking equality & change. It’s all about the people and their ability to stand united during the worst, and the best of times. Our voices matter. And having them matter in a time of constant division and unrest is not only important for today, but necessary for tomorrow, and the future to come.”
As part of the 26th Edition of the Roxbury International Film Festival, the screening will hold a Q&A with the filmmakers. Additional screenings, discussions, donations, and viewing opportunities will be announced through The People United’s website and social media platforms.
“To me, The People, United is a unique ‘looking glass’ into how different our lives were during the worst period of our lives, while providing inspiration and hope to future generations seeking equality and justice for their fellow man,” says Tatum.
