Worldwide protests following the 2020 murder of George Floyd included calls to defund or abolish the police until a sharp rise in crime gave politicians and police supporters the fuel they needed to suppress the movement. Unfortunately, a detailed conversation about transforming public safety was never had. In Reimagining Safety, ten experts discuss how policing and incarceration create more harm than good, why the system persists, and what changes can be made to make everyone safe.

Reimagining Safety, shot on iPhone, has been screened over 40 times across the US since last February and has been seen by over 3000 people at community impact screenings hosted by more than 60 coalition organizations. We have many more screenings planned for Spring 2024 to date. Additionally, the film was named Best Documentary Feature at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival, was awarded Best Cinematography at The People’s Film Festival in Harlem, and has received a powerful endorsement by The Black Panther Party WA who has added the film to their curriculum.

Interviews include:

George Gascón – Los Angeles County District Attorney
Dr. Jody Armour – The Roy P. Crocker Professor of Law at the University of Southern California
Dr. El Jones – professor and co-author of Defunding the Police – Planning the Way Forward for the HRM
Alex S Vitale – professor, law enforcement expert, and author of End of Policing
Gina Viola – former LA Mayoral candidate who ran on an abolition platform
Nikki Blak – Sociologist, anti-racism educator, and Inglewood born and raised
Hawk Newsome – co-founder of Black Lives Matter NY and Black Opportunities

Hadiya Kennedy – former LAPD detective
Sennett Devermont – Mr. Checkpoint, police auditor and founder of the AFTP Foundation

Matthew Solomon, producer of Reimagining Safety will be live on our show tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern/5 p.m. Pacific. Matthew will be talking about how the community screenings of Reimagining Safety have had a tremendous impact in educating communities, connecting residents to local resources, and increasing the understanding that resources make communities safer – not more police or prisons.
