Ferguson, Missouri

On August 9th, 2014, an 18-year old named Michael Brown was shot twelve times and killed in an altercation with Ferguson, Missouri police officer Darren Wilson.

Within minutes, residents of Ferguson spoke up against Brown's unruly death. Within hours, those willing to listen had their eyes on Ferguson. And within days, the entire world was watching.

The following footage is we saw when we arrived in Ferguson just five days after Michael Brown was killed. I’ll never forget the days we spent interviewing, supporting, and protesting alongside members of this community. When will our lives be just as valuable as yours?
