Wake

By Breeana Hinton

Wake is a 3D animated short film that explores the impact and struggle of police brutality, discrimination, and racial injustice on a young African American woman. A young black woman tries to escape racial injustice in her world by falling into a dream. The dream she wakes in reflects the same realities of the world she tried to escape. She comes to the realization, once she wakes, that she must “Stay Woke” to the reality of the world where discrimination and discriminant policing are still occurring.
