From executive-producing documentary film to decades of media commentary — Patricia's storytelling reaches far beyond the page.
Patricia serves as Executive Producer on this feature-length documentary examining the death of Eric Garner not as an isolated tragedy, but as a window into a movement that changed America. Directed by Dr. Arshley Emile, the film traces back to a conversation between Patricia and Garner's mother, Gwen Carr, who connected her with the filmmakers — and features Rev. Al Sharpton, Hakeem Jeffries, Charlamagne tha God, Tamika Mallory, Killer Mike, Ben Crump and Gwen Carr herself.
"This film is actually a call to action... it's for all of us Americans to pay attention and come together." — Gwen Carr, Executive Producer
