After the murder of George Floyd sparks a global ripple of racial reckoning, a young Black Minneapolis City Council Member leads the movement to dismantle the Minneapolis Police and replace it with a visionary new Department for Public Safety. Despite the unprecedented waves of local and national support, he is met with a punishing pushback from the forces of money and power. This film is witness to the brutal racial backlash politics leading up to a citywide vote and how the people of a city might rise from the ashes.
