WNY Non-Profits » Lessons of Homicides Reviews

Since the year 2000, there have been over 400 homicides in the city of Buffalo, NY. During almost every homicide funeral or prayer vigil, people insist that the deaths were not in vain. In this documentary, I search for the evidence that those deaths are not in vain. I also ask, what are the lessons from all those homicides?

This documentary explores the lessons learned by individuals, families, communities and organizations that have had direct experiences with homicides, especially since 2000, in Buffalo. The goal is to catalogue a variety of homicide-related events, reactions, and suggestions that canserve as educational tools and motivational factors for efforts aimed at violence reduction and improved quality of life in buffalo and elsewhere.

The movie is being prepared as a full length documentary in a format that is conducive toboth cinema and television viewings, targeted to local and national level audiences through networks such as PBS and HBO. It is also expected to be played at schools and in other institutional settings to serve as a tool for violence reduction efforts on individual, family, community, organizational and societal levels.
