“Amazon currently streams several documentaries on what happened at Ferguson,” a passage below the screenshot on the website says. “This rejection by Amazon reveals much about our culture. Our film offers up a compassionate, truthful, and intellectual version of those events and there were no grounds for rejection.”
"Amazon not only rejected our film but the viewpoints of many Americans,” Eli Steele, Shelby’s filmmaker son and director of the project, told the Washington Examiner. “We worked hard on this film to include a great variety of voices, most of them black. These voices rarely never find their way into the limelight, which is overcrowded with the opinions of the elites. So when Amazon rejected us, they also silenced these voices, and that is the great sin of a company that professes to be diverse and inclusive."
