Witnesses who filmed viral videos of injustice step forward in this ground-breaking documentary about the citizen journalists who have ignited global movements. Millions have seen videos of George Floyd’s death and many others at the hands of police, but few realize how the lives of these citizen journalists are forever changed as they fight against online trolls, surveillance firms and exploitative social media platforms—and to what end? Do viral videos help bring about change? #WhileBlack interrogates the cycle of Black death in social media.
