走过撕裂大地 White Man Walking

WHITE MAN WALKING, a feature-length documentary for BBC Storyville and produced by Osun Group, premieres on BBC Four and iPlayer on May 27th to mark the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s death. The film follows white filmmaker Rob Bliss as he walks across America wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt, confronting hostility, armed Trump supporters, and unexpected moments of connection along the way.

WHITE MAN WALKING follows one man’s extraordinary journey as he walks through Trump’s America all the way to Washington in a Black Lives Matter t-shirt after the killing of George Floyd. Bliss’ journey across a deeply divided America becomes both a powerful call for unity and a stark exploration of fear. As he meets people on both sides of the racial and social divide, moments of hostility are contrasted by rare but meaningful connections with those who choose to walk beside him.

The film explores the deep racial and ideological divide in America, asking why advocating for Black lives sparks such visceral anger, particularly in poor, rural white communities. It is both a deeply personal journey and a broader call for empathy and understanding.
