95 percent of African American owned businesses have no chance of receiving a loan, report says

Many of the businesses and banks in areas heavily populated by minorities did not meet the criteria for PPP loans. While on a call with the Black Chamber of Commerce of California, we discovered that banks also have requirements that would prevent them form becoming SBA lenders. These are just a few concerns that will hopefully be addressed by the HEROs Act.

Gathr Films is hosting the screening of American Trial: The Eric Garner Story.
American Trial: The Eric Garner Story is an unprecedented film event, an unscripted courtroom drama that presents the trial that never happened against the NYPD Officer who was videotaped choking Eric Garner to death in 2014. American Trial employs real-life prosecutors and defense attorneys to conduct a totally unscripted mock trial using the real-life evidence, witnesses (including Garner’s widow, Esaw), expert testimony and rules of criminal procedure; the only actor in the film is the man who plays the defendant, Officer Daniel Pantaleo. Best of all, the filmmakers do not tell the audience whether Officer Pantaleo should be found guilty or not — the viewers themselves are the jury.

In our special virtual event May 18-21, everyone who watches the film will be able to vote online on the two counts Pantaleo is charged with in the film, and the “verdicts” will be announced during a livestream with filmmaker Roee Messinger and Esaw Garner on May 21. American Trial (hybrid doc/narrative, 100 min.), premiered as a special presentation at the 2019 New York Film Festival.

"A revelation: An urgent and compelling film so formally innovative that it feels as if you’re witnessing the birth of a new genre."
- Nelson Kim, writing for Hammer to Nail
