1 min read

Join us for a special screening of the The People’s Way by Ashley Tyner and William Tyner on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2pm at GROW, 1340 Elmwood Ave. in Columbia.

Watch how the city was transformed in the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder in Minneapolis, where our filmmakers follow the stories of three community organizers — Jeanelle Austin, Toshira Garraway, and Robin Wonsley — as they walk the incredible odyssey of Black Liberation, healing, civic engagement, and personal transformation to seek justice, accountability, and community-centered approaches to public safety.

Ashley Tyner is a writer, filmmaker, and Special Projects Editor at i-D Magazine, where she works to create space to amplify marginalized voices in the worlds of art and culture. She writes and produces across print, audio, and video formats, with a focus on designing editorial experiences that translate into community events and service-driven initiatives.

William Tyner is an anthropologist, filmmaker, and UX Researcher at Google. He is also the recipient of the 2018-2019 Fulbright-National Geographic Digital Storytelling Fellowship, where he studied the intersection of civil society and technology in post-communist Romania.
