| Summary: | In the wake of civil unrest in Cincinnati, September 11, and escalating violence in the Mideast, four children of 1970s activists define their own roles in the fight for justice and equality. No Justice, No Peace offers a window into the world of today's politically active youth. This compelling video presents portraits of four Ohio college students of different racial backgrounds who are active in a variety of issues including the fight for equal education, affirmative action, affordable housing, civil liberties, and women's rights; an end to racial profiling and police brutality; and a solution to the Israeli-Palestine conflict. While all four share a passion for justice and equality, their perspectives, strategies and tactics differ -- offering the audience a look at the complexity of youth activism in the new millennium. In April 2001, the racial climate in Cincinnati made the national news during three days of civil unrest following the shooting death of an unarmed 19 year-old black man by a white police officer. The mayor declared a state of emergency, announced a curfew and threatened to call out the National Guard. No Justice, No Peace follows the organizing efforts of the young activists in the year after the shooting. |
