Reporter Reflection on George Floyd Uprising – Episode 4
Episode 4 of Unicorn Riot’s exclusive documentary series Reporter Reflection takes the viewer through the fiery streets of South Minneapolis on May 29, 2020 — the fourth day of the historic popular uprising against police terror and anti-Blackness after the murder of George Floyd. The fourth episode features interviews, police violence, and a city on fire while under curfew with the National Guard in the streets.
Waves of rage tore through the Twin Cities after Minneapolis police officers mercilessly killed George Floyd, a 46-year-old father of five and security guard, on Memorial Day 2020. The historic uprising that followed the murder saw the 3rd Precinct besieged by thousands of community members after days of unrest.
Moving from the 3rd Precinct to the political upheaval across the Twin Cities, Unicorn Riot extensively documented the popular revolt, providing dozens of hours of unfiltered live streams centering the voices of the community. Unicorn Riot has published a five-episode Reporter Reflection documentary series spotlighting frontline perspectives from the historic George Floyd Uprising in Minneapolis.
Episode 4 is 26-minutes of footage filmed by Jenn Schreiter and Niko Georgiades for Unicorn Riot. The episode is co-produced by Georgiades and Georgia Fort and narrated and edited by Georgiades. Music by Stony Wellz. Episode 4 was originally published on May 29, 2024. [Vimeo link | YouTube link]
