Incident Film Screening & Discussion

  • 6100 S Blackstone Ave Chicago, IL 60637 USA (map)

On July 14, 2018, 37-year-old Harith Augustus, a local barber, was shot to death by police patrolling 71st Street in Chicago’s South Shore neighborhood. In partnership with Forensic Architecture, we released an investigation that contested the police narrative in 2019.

This year, filmmaker Bill Morrison released his latest work, Incident, which chronicles the death of Harith Augustus entirely through the use of surveillance camera and body cam footage from police officers. Morrison drew on our team's reporting in creating this work.

On Sunday, November 5th at 7:00pm, Chicago Humanities Festival will screen Incident at the Logan Center. Following the screening will be a panel discussion including Bill Morrison, Adam Green, and Invisible Institute's Jamie Kalven and trina reynolds-tyler. Tickets are available through CHF's website. We encourage you to revisit our reporting.
