Excelsior Rising


Documentary made for the san francisco state university's class "Documentary for social and health justice". Here the synopsis
The Excelsior, a culturally rich, working-class neighborhood of San Francisco, experienced eight violent murders in 2008. After nearly 9 months with no homicides, Excelsior is shocked with the news of a vicious and unprovoked murder on October 12, 2009. This random act of violence throws the community into a turbulent state, uncertain about their neighborhood's safety. Through the voices of community leaders, local activists, and neighborhood residents, Excelsior Rising explores the mechanics of how a small, close-knit community begins to take steps to strengthen relationships and improve safety by starting right at the heart of the community.
