In the summer of 2020, Denver, Colorado, like many cities across the United States, became a focal point of a powerful social movement. The streets filled with voices demanding justice, equality, and systemic change, all in response to the tragic deaths that highlighted deep-seated issues of racial injustice and police brutality. This project seeks to immortalize this pivotal moment in history through the evocative lens of 35mm film. It captures the raw emotion, unity, and intensity of the protests that surged through Denver’s streets. The choice of 35mm film, with its inherent grain and texture, mirrors the gritty reality and authenticity of the events as they unfolded. Each frame is a testament to the power of collective action and the human spirit, portraying a narrative of resilience, solidarity, and the fight for justice. It tells the story of a community coming together, capturing the faces, the signs, the marches, and the moments of quiet reflection amidst the chaos. The project aims to preserve these memories as a visual archive, providing a lens into the emotions and dynamics of a movement that reverberated far beyond the streets of Denver.
