"Eyes Wise Open," directed by Carolyn Battle-Cochrane, dives into the tragic narrative of Jon Ferrell, an unarmed 24-year-old Black man whose life was cut short by an unjust police shooting—an incident that starkly illuminates the pervasive unconscious bias and systemic racism within the police force. Through the eyes of Jon’s fiancée, Cache Heidel, and her biracial family, the series captures the profound consequences of shattered young love, the bold rise of MAGA and white supremacy across the US, and the stormy climate of today's political arena. This series not only addresses the pressing issues of police violence and racial injustice but also seamlessly integrates these topics into a wider discussion, challenging viewers to deeply contemplate its intricate and compelling themes.
