For Our Children, a new documentary released by Ava DuVernay’s ARRAY ahead of the fourth anniversary of the police murder of George Floyd, highlights how Black mothers cope with the most unimaginable loss of their lives.

The film, directed by award-winning Brazilian documentarian Débora Souza Silva, centers Rev. Wanda Johnson, the mother of Oscar Grant. Johnson acts as a mentor to other women like her whose sons and daughters have been beaten, brutalized, and murdered by police and explores a movement of mothers determined to prevent more children from being victimized by the same system.
