This is a short film (documentary style) specifically shot and delivered for the internet by independent film company "Independent Lens". Their mantra seems to be to have visionaries who ignore the rules of commercial programming and pursue diverse stories about people not normally seen on TV. This particular short film (5:27) called Bullet Proof Vest is about a young African American girl (and her family) who live in the dangerous city of Richmand, California.
With an average of one homicide every 10 days, Jyeshria's parents are afraid to let their children outside. Jyeshria and her nine-year-old twin Mustapha know they can’t go to the park unaccompanied and are fed up with the gun violence.
Directed by: May Lin Au Yong
