The film’s topic could not be more relevant as racial profiling has become the center of explosive controversy in media and society.  In June 2012, a police officer killed Shantel Davis, a young African-American woman, through the open window of her car. Distraught residents described hearing the fatal shots and watching officers drag Davis’ bleeding body onto the street, where they left her to die. Flatbush, NY, seemed like another war zone. It was time to make a documentary about what was going on. 

Profiled represents all our work and commitment and stands as a tribute to what a collective effort can achieve when focused on a common goal. We stand with the interviewees whose comments broaden our understanding of racism in the U.S, especially the family members whose courage and tenacity inspire us all to stand with them in the struggle against racist inequalities and injustice.  Kathleen Foster - filmmaker
