Micah Smith joined the station in December 2018 and is Denver7's Social Equity Reporter
DENVER — The Denver Film Festival wraps up this weekend, and part of the program includes a film inspired by events that happened in the Mile High City 30 years ago.
“I lived here during the summer of '93. I lived on Capitol Hill and then Five Points. And it always did stick with me both the violence that happened and then the response by the state, you know, and the laws that were changed,” Nicki Micheaux, the director and writer of the film told Denver7 Friday. “So what inspired me to write it was, I wanted to talk about how hard it is to, you know, follow your dreams or find yourself when it seems like the world around you is imploding.
“So I just really want to talk about, how do we come of age? How did we find ourselves? How do we find our voice, when some things about society are kind of crashing against us?” Micheaux said.
