FILMWORK: BEFORE I DIE

TWO WOKE MINDS

TWO WOKE MINDS is a GLAAD recognized documentary and travel video series created by Eli Hiller and Prince Shakur. Born partially out of Prince’s experiences seeing the importance of live streaming in Standing Rock and the erasure of the nuance of social movements in mainstream media, Hiller and Shakur started the series during their travels in Philippines. They would go on to document their travels as people of color, cover demonstrations on behalf of the Filipino urban poor, and anti-police brutality protests occurring in St. Louis, MO in 2017.

Two Woke Minds Explainer

Equal parts funny and political, Eli Hiller and Prince Shakur would pursue the project from January 2017 to December 2018.
