Ferguson Rises (2021) and Building a Bridge (2021)Tribeca 2021 Capsules

FERGUSON RISES
Portrait of the city that became the epicenter of protests when Michael Brown, an unarmed black man was shot dead by the police. It is a look at what happened and how the city try to fix the problem and rebuild.

This is a very good film, that unfortunately may end up getting lost among the similar films that are coming out on the never ending  police misconduct incidents . That said if you want a film that focuses just on Ferguson this is the one to see.


BUILDING  A BRIDGE
Portrait of Father James Martin who wrote the book Building a Bridge about how the Catholic Church needs to connect to the LGBT community.

This is a very good film on it's own terms but it's nothing special
