This documentary explores the gap between Boulder, Colorado's progressive self-omage and the lived experiences of its small but resilient Black community. Its throughline is the story of Zayd Atkinson, a university student who was performing his work study job cleaning up the grounds of his dorm when he was threatened by a police officer and, soon, by either officers with guns drawn. He lived to tell the story many Black men don't survive to tell. While it has a unique history, Boulder is emblematic of liberal, white, university-based communities that profess an inclusive ethic but live a segregated reality. This documentary shares the voices of Boulder's Black community and shows how deeply the roots of institutional racism are embedded.
