98 Days: Last Stand at City Hall

98 Days is a hybrid documentary tracing activist-filmmaker RJ Dawson’s journey from the 2020 Grand Park occupation, where Black Unity organizers and unhoused residents clashed with police and internal divisions to his current work with the Center of Independent Living Storytellers Initiative, a disability justice media project. The film contrasts the sacrifices of street protests with today’s accessible resistance tactics, asking how movements can wield narrative power without replicating trauma. At its heart, it’s a story about who controls the camera and whether marginalized communities can televise their revolution without being consumed by it
