Film spotlights Shreveport activists on major streaming platforms
The struggles and triumphs of two grassroots activists from Northeast Louisiana are spotlighted in a documentary now available to stream. "North Louisiana Rising: Two Women − No Fear" follows Shreveport activists Breka Peoples and Omari Ho-Sang as they navigate the challenges of grassroots organizing and activism. Produced by Eugene Weatherspoon Collins, the documentary chronicles their real-life struggles, including unlawful arrests and public character attacks, while highlighting their commitment to social change in Louisiana. Peoples said seeing her work documented is emotional because it comes with real consequences.
