with Sean Kafer’s “Volume Up: The Peoples Revolution” (working title), 12m, 2021
Milwaukee’s The Peoples Revolution (TPR) is a “Justice Group” that began marching after George Floyd’s death and hasn’t stopped participating in daily action since May 28th, 2020. They’re known as the longest consecutive protest group in US history. One of 2020’s battles was for the firing of Wauwatosa Police Officer Joseph Mensah who killed three men of color in five years of service. This excerpt is from Day 40 when TPR shuts down Mayfair Mall and the nearby Cheesecake Factory in protest for not releasing security camera footage of 17-year-old Alvin Cole’s murder. This was the third killing by Joseph Mensah. Later TPR goes to a Wauwatosa Common Council meeting demanding the firing of Mensah for the murder of Jay Anderson, his second victim. This excerpt is a look at a day in the life of The Peoples Revolution.
