“Disarmed” musical short
aim for amity…
From confrontations to conversations, the socio-political distance between cops & the community has been wide. FACE KC (Filmmakers, Artists, & Creatives for Empowerment), a local non-profit organization, teamed up with AGA Productions & the Kansas City Police Department to Aim for Amity with the “Cops versus Community Rap Battle,” a music video shoot where these two powerful forces come together for the biggest showdown of the year: “Cops versus Community Rap Battle”.
THE BATTLE…
The “Cops versus Community Rap Battle” is Phase I of the Kansas City Community Film Project (KCCFP), an effort to explore the public’s belief about the tumultuous relationship between the police force & the community.
The footage captured here will contribute to Phase III, KCCFP, a feature film with a narrative that draws on the strength of Community & Police heroes, featuring many local artists, filmed ENTIRELY in Kansas City.
FACE KC joins hands with KCPD & the Kansas City community by utilizing the ever-sturdy bridge—art—to bring us together. The tumultuous conversations surrounding contemporary punitive experiences with policing keep us believing there are two sides.
FACE KC aims for amity by developing a message of
fostering unity, peace, cooperation.
We Aim for Amity.
