In 1992, Yance Ford’s brother was shot to death by a white mechanic. After the shooting was deemed to be in self-defense, the shooter was able to go on with his life as Ford and his family were left to cope with their loss. The African-American filmmaker created Strong Island as a way to work through his sorrow. The documentary is raw and tragic, but also inspiring. The strength shown by Ford and his family is admirable, to say the least. While they may not have found justice in the court of law, the Ford’s continue to make sure their brother/son is remembered.
