Racial inequality in America takes center stage in this documentary, which traces the visibility of the issue back to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 60s and forward into the modern era of viral video and social media. Archival footage of marches, sit-ins, and speeches from the earlier movement sits alongside news clips and interviews addressing more recent flashpoints, using the hashtag itself as a lens for how a decades-old struggle resurfaced in a new media environment. The film builds its case through firsthand testimony and news coverage rather than a single narrator's argument, letting activists, commentators, and footage of demonstrations carry the story of what changed and what did not. It treats the movement as part of a longer American history of protest over policing and civil rights, rather than as an isolated news cycle, and closes on the open question of what comes next for a movement still being defined in real time.
