In the words of Phelim McAleer, the man who wrote Ferguson, The Play, and now Ferguson-The Film.
These are professional actors reading the actual words of eyewitnesses detailing minute by minute what happened in the run up to the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. FERGUSON the play consists of unaltered witness testimony, exactly as the Ferguson grand jury heard it. It includes forensic and medical examiner evidence that proves the truth and debunks the liars.
You probably haven’t missed the many and loud claims that the entertainment industry is racist and not diverse. It seems that “everyone who matters” agrees that diversity is a problem. Or at least that’s what they say.
But the reality is very different as I found when I wrote a play that offered ten roles for black men and women and even three significant roles for black women over 40 – which everyone agrees can be a career death zone for women (of all races)….
These facts did not please the actors who wanted to tell a different story. However this was Verbatim Theater – the story could only be told in the words of the witnesses. But the actors did not want to hear the genuine voices – even if they were black and under oath. Nine of the original 13 actors walked out. Most of them were black. Then a few of the white cast walked out in sympathy – one just 24 hours before the performance opened….

Wow.
At 7:10 or so, the prosecutor says, basically, “Don’t go to the CTH.”

So far, what I love most about this amazing production, is the eyes looking directly at you at the end of each scene. Genius. And it’s ALL verbatim.

These Commies convinced Big Dumb Mike that he could take out a cop, not only because he was big and dumb, but because he could do it in a videogame.
I could easily (okay, maybe a few tries) do what Big Dumb Mike was trained to do in Grand Theft Auto V.
Note: I actually believe this:
He was a retard trained by the BGI to do this.
Trayvon was, too. On purpose. For the specific purpose they served.
If they can create a POTUS from absolute Stanley-Ann, they can do small things like raise a kid to be a walking wrongful-death-lawsuit lottery ticket, quite easily.
What’s the level cap on the Cynicism stat again?

Yes, woman, he has been taught what to do.
Quite carefully taught exactly what to do.
Never call Commies idiots. They know how to do stuff.

That was sort of breathtaking. I was going to set it up and watch later, but once it started, I couldn’t turn it off or leave. Very powerful. I have to wonder about the actors who quit. Did some of them leave because of their prejudice or because they were afraid of repercussions from the black community?

Both. Progs have built themselves a defense mechanism, a wall, with tripwires that have been carefully programmed into them.
If you can break through that wall, with speech, or charts and graphs, then you’re far more intelligent than I. I’ve only done it once. Turned a prog to conservative.
Most actors looking for work are progs. They saw the script and it offended them because it did not reflect nor reinforce what they already believed about the case.
More importantly, it did not reflect nor did it reinforce what was COOL to believe about the case, as influenced by the MSM and it’s partner in crime, the BGI.
