'The People United' Drops Official Trailer Ahead of Forthcoming Release

BOSTON - May 1, 2024 - PRLog -- Filmmaker Crosby Tatum have released the official trailer for his latest film entitled "The People, United," ahead of its forthcoming release and world premiere.  Centered around the 2020 US demonstrations and rallies after the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police, The People United is a unique 'cinematic diary' that covers the viewpoints and perspectives from protesters on different sides, amidst a global pandemic, and a contentious US Election Season.

Told in a raw, sprawling, cinematic, first-person perspective, the trailer for The People, United delves into the personal ideals, fears and emotions as people powerfully come together during one of the more challenging years in world history.   "It was a personal struggle for me to get this film done.  I'm extremely proud of it.  I feel that it's one of the most powerful pieces I ever done in my entire life," says Crosby Tatum, Executive Producer/Director of The People United.

"As a person of color, working at a hospital during the 1st wave of the pandemic, George's murder deeply affected me in a way where the trauma of it, coupled with watching Covid-19 patients being carted off, pushed me to pick up my own camera and use my gifts to document the people and demonstrations as they occurred, despite reactions and comments from those of differing views and elected officials."  He adds, "Our stories matter, and they need to be told as such."

The People United features over fifty (50) on-the-spot remarks, actions, and interviews from activists, politicians, and fringe groups on different political and ideological sides during several notable public demonstrations.  Including speeches and remarks from Secretary Joe Kennedy III (D), Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), family members of George Floyd, Jacob Blake, Trayvon Martin, Terrence Coleman, Eurie Stamps Sr., and others.   A formal release date and preview will be announced shortly in the forthcoming days.

The trailer for The People United can be seen on the Triceptus Studios YouTube channel (http://www.youtube.com/Triceptus) and all of its social media pages via the home website of the film -- www.thepeopleunited.film.
