How Does Ferguson protest sparked by new documentary Work?

Ferguson’s protests started because people saw a new documentary that showed how unfair things were there.

Imagine you're playing a game with your friends in the playground. One day, someone gets picked on unfairly, maybe they lose their turn even though they did everything right. That makes everyone else mad too. They want to stand up for their friend and say, “That’s not fair!”

In Ferguson, something like that happened. A new documentary came out, like a movie about real events, showing how unfair the police were treating people there. It was like watching a video of someone being treated unfairly in the playground.

This documentary made people think and feel angry. They wanted to do something about it, just like you might decide to help your friend by standing up for them. So people started protesting, that means they gathered together and showed they were upset.

It’s like when a lot of kids in the playground all decide to stand up for their friend at once. That makes things change, just like it did in Ferguson!
