“Eight minutes and 46 seconds – The murder of George Floyd” brings to the Sky a documentary about the death of Floyd and the subsequent worldwide protests against racism and police violence to be on TV. You may ask, what was added to the concentrated reporting on Floyd’s brutal killing by a police officer in Minneapolis, the knelt the title eight minutes, and 46 seconds on Floyd’s neck, and the video recording of the fact tripped demonstrations. But straight in these times of social networks in circulating information snippets it is to classify things, and to be considered in context. The documentation for the target.

He summarizes the events surrounding the death of Floyd and the rise of the founded in 2013, the movement “Black Lives Matter” as the beginning of a new civil rights movement in the United States.

The Overview of the framework boldly formulated assessments: that “Black Lives Matter” was the first global protest movement against racism and for a new Generation of young black people, the dam does not accept important of politicians any longer. With trump’s threat of military violence, the protests have become “the battleground between the two major political parties,” it says. None of this is substantiated.
