In Mississippi, six former sheriff's deputies have been sentenced to between 10 and 40 years in prison for raiding a home and torturing, shooting and sexually abusing two Black men, Michael Jenkins and Eddie Parker, in January 2023. The six former deputies, all of whom are white, called themselves the "Goon Squad" and have been linked to at least four violent attacks on Black men since 2019. Two of the men attacked and tortured by the group subsequently died. To discuss the case and the verdict, we're joined by Eddie Parker and attorneys Malik Shabazz and Trent Walker. "Never have we seen this many police officers sentenced to this kind of time in one week," says Shabazz, who calls the verdict "historic." Jenkins, Parker and Shabazz are currently suing the Rankin County Sheriff's Department over its track record of civil rights violations and racist targeting of Black residents.

Brazil has always used the existence of interracial unions to claim the country is a 'racial democracy', but some have argued that white Brazilians have always been against them and only accept them to the extent that it whitens the population as a whole.

While the world has its eyes on the Ukraine and Palestine wars, another war has been raging: Sudan is currently suffering the worst humanitarian crisis of recent times. But browse the news headlines on an average day, and you won’t find anything about Sudan.

Why? This war happens to be in a part of the world that very few care about and has been struggling with its identity. My new documentary tries to showcase Sudan's beauty and potential and hopefully get you to care and talk about what has been happening.

You can also directly help as a viewer by sharing this video, speaking about Sudan, writing to your MPs and pressuring them to intervene in stopping the war, supporting the businesses of any Sudanese person in your city, and donating to any of the following trusted NGOs:

HomeTax Sudan was established during the 2019 Sudanese uprising. It focuses on providing food, shelter, and medical aid to people displaced by violence and unrest.

The nonprofit, with 501(c)(3) status, advocates for civilian protection, crime accountability, and lasting crisis resolution in Darfur. It focuses on maintaining global attention on Darfur, educating children in camps, and providing skills training and support for women survivors.

SAPA responds to growing needs by offering on-the-ground support and raising funds to improve humanitarian and medical aid for those fleeing and distressed.

The Humanitarian Aid Commission launched a Registered Emergency fundraiser to provide internally displaced persons food, water, and shelter. It is active in areas from Al-Jazeera State to Sennar State.
