Five years on since the release of this short film and the words of American civil rights attorney John Burris are still hauntingly poignant. The only difference is that the names of the black Americans wronged, abused and killed by the police now include Eric Garner, Ahmaud Aubrey, George Floyd and countless others.

A wave of violent and non-violent protests have swept the US in recent weeks, so we look back to Terrence Nance's imaginative masterpiece which brings the truth of police brutality to the fore through haunting, interpretive dance and commentary.

Blackout was created in support of Blackout for Human Rights, which is a nationwide network of high profile artists, activists and faith leaders, who stand against human rights violations.
