May Day x 4

2026 · 35 min

A collage of raw archival footage that immerses you in the charged atmosphere of a protest moment, more historical texture than narrative.

Directed by
Brian Meacham
Overview
Drawing on archival footage from four separate film productions that documented the protests of early May, 1970, this short film creates a kaleidoscopic portrait of the response to the New Haven Black Panther trials.
