Fox Television Stations One Hour Special Examines the Five Years After George Floyd
Fox Television Stations will premiere a one-hour special called After George Floyd.
The show is produced by Fox 9 Minneapolis and will look into what has or hasn't changed since George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis sparked protests, civil unrest, and nationwide calls for police reform.
Hosted by Fox 9's Symone Woolridge, the show shares the stories of residents and businesses in and around George Floyd Square five years later.
Here's what the show producers promise: We will walk the beat with two Minneapolis police officers assigned to the area, where emotions remain raw.
We sit down with the former police chief who led the department five years ago — and the current chief — to explore what has changed and what work remains.
We speak with the State Commissioner of Human Rights about the consent decrees now in place for the police department: Have they made a difference?
And we follow the journey of the muralist who painted the iconic image of George Floyd in 2020.
The special will air on Sunday, May 25 across all Fox Television Station primary streams at 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT. This includes each Fox Local channel, LiveNOW, and Fox Soul.

Black resistance in Bay Area lives on through art
Black resistance remains a focal point in the Bay Area art scene five years after George Floyd's murder through murals, music, museum exhibits, performing arts and more. Why it matters: These displays serve as enduring platforms for visibility, education and celebration. State of play: Public murals, such as the ones painted in Clarion Alley and on 12th Street in Oakland, have become powerful symbols of solidarity and protest. The African-American Shakespeare Company in San Francisco continues to serve as a space for performers of color with reinterpretations of classic works of theater through a Black lens. The Museum of the African Diaspora in Oakland plays a crucial role in promoting Black artists and their stories with exhibitions, educational panels and community events. The Zaccho Dance Theater in San Francisco has been instrumental in elevating dancers of color with unique performances touching on themes of racial justice and displacement, as has ODC in offering a range of African diasporic dance classes.

Award-winning filmmakers premiere George Floyd protest documentary
The Brief The World Premiere of 612: Darkness in the Land of Nice screened at Justice Page Middle School on Friday – two days before the 5-year anniversary of Floyd's death. The documentary tells the story of how young adults sparked the world's largest protest after Floyd's murder. MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - A new documentary tells the story of how young adults sparked the "world's largest protest in modern history" after the murder of George Floyd. What we know The film is titled "612: Darkness in the Land of Nice" and FOX 9's Leon Purvis spoke with the writer, producer, and director of the film – who say they wanted to find out how and why young people came together to make change. One of the people featured in the film is Emma Pederson. She was 22 years old when former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin put his knee on Floyd's neck five years ago Sunday. "When George Floyd happened to us, it was, frankly, nothing new. I think the circumstances surrounding George Floyd's death, with the pandemic, people being locked inside and everything like that – I think that's really what made it pop off," said Pederson. What they're saying Writer, director and producer Diem Van Groth tells FOX 9 he was just one of the citizens on the street documenting history. Van Groth wasn't planning on making a film, but found it important to see what was going on, and the movement he saw from the younger generation. "It's their courage and their decision. Everybody gets a chance to make history, and the kids and young people in the state of Minnesota, they decided to get up on the street and get themselves some justice," said Van Groth. Van Groth wants everyone to never forget what happened on May 25, 2020, but also find ways to heal. "The film is meant to make sure that the world knows, that tragedy happened in Minnesota, but these are the organizations that are supporting young people to help move Minnesota and the nation forward," said Van Groth. What's next Van Groth says he believes we are better off than we were five years ago, but we're not where we need to be yet.
