Watch the Black Women Leading a Movement

Filmmaker Ashley O’Shay spent more than four years following Janae Bonsu and Bella BAHHS as they led protests and organized demonstrations following the police killings of Rekia Boyd and Laquan McDonald. Her new documentary “Unapologetic” explores these two women’s activism and the movement for Black lives they helped organize here in Chicago. But it wasn’t just moments behind the megaphone that O’Shay was able to document. She also captured birthday parties, family visits, recording sessions, and academic seminars — Intimate moments that helped shape these women and their activism.
