SYNOPSIS - A video goes viral, showing a white South Carolina police officer pull a Black teenager from her desk and throw her across the floor.
Healer-Activist Vivian Anderson uproots her life in New York City to move to South Carolina to support the girl and dismantle the system behind the assault at Spring Valley High School, including facing the police officer.
