video premiere: ayoinmotion issues call-to-action against police brutality in hair-raising visual ‘outrage on the front page (ofp)’

Whoa. This morning we’re debuting Ayoinmotion’s intense visual for social justice, ‘Outrage on the Front Page (OFP)’. A six-minute short film that challenges the society that made it possible for a police officer to get away with shooting a fleeing, unarmed man in the back, and on camera. That challenges our reactions to violence and how we can channel that energy more impact-fully. “For me OFP is as much of a reflection of society as it is call to action on an issue that affects us all,“ Ayoinmotion tells AFROPUNK. ”We can’t lament in outrage after every viral video of police brutality and then move on with our lives the next week like nothing happened, till it then happens again. This is cycle is further compounded by recent presidential electoral results, which I would hope indicates that silence on social justice isn’t a luxury we can afford!”
