Synopsis
“When Trayvon Martin was first shot I said that this could have been my son. Another way of saying that is Trayvon Martin could have been me 35 years ago” –Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States
“Rest in Power stands as a reminder — not only of Trayvon's life and death but of the vulnerability of black lives in a country that still needs to be reminded they matter” –USA Today
In Rest in Power, Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin offer a heartfelt testimony of their son. In life, their child was just that—a child. But In death, Trayvon became the face of a movement that changed the world through Black Lives Matter. But beyond this legacy is a boy with dreams and passions. Who was Trayvon Martin before he became a symbol of injustice? Through alternating narratives, Fulton and Martin remember their complex, beautiful son while grappling with the brutal realities of systemic racism and a broken legal system.
Years after his tragic and untimely death in 2012, Trayvon Martin’s name still resonates worldwide. When mentioned, it evokes the haunting injustice of his killing—a young boy gunned down while carrying his favorite snacks, an iced tea and a bag of Skittles. A life cut short before he could even begin to experience what the world had to offer.This is a story of grief, of what happens when it’s exposed to the global spotlight.
