Increase the peace

Remember being 18? Hamid Floyd does, because he is 18. He made a film about the violence that saturates Philadelphia right now, and its impact on him and others.

Hamid’s film won second place in a contest, but that’s not why you should watch it. Watch it because it’s good. And because it’s a really gutsy, brave thing for a teenager to do, and because even if there were no more murders in Philadelphia this year, we would still already have had one for every single day of the year.

Stop the violence. Increase the peace.

Watch the film.
