For 8 minutes and 46 seconds George Floyd was pinned to the ground with a policemen’s knee on his neck. This new documentary premieres across Sky on 15th June.
The documentary examines those terrible moments, the wave of global protest that followed, and asks whether what happened in Minneapolis will be a pivotal moment in the anti racism movement or simply another death of a black man at the hands of a white police officer.
Narrated by Idris Elba, Eight Minutes and 46 Seconds features contributions from Rev Jesse Jackson, Malcolm X’s daughter Ilya Sah Shabazz, novelist and playwright Bonnie Greer and Black Lives Matter campaigner Zellie Imani.
