Documentary features Zanesville protest
A May protest in Zanesville following the death of George Floyd last year is the subject of a new documentary.
Zanesville resident and Dennison University journalism professor Doug Swift created the short film “What Matters? Documenting the Fight for Racial Equality in Zanesville” focusing on the peaceful protests that took place in the city on May 30th, 2020.
“There were about 500 people there. About half were black, half were white. Some from the north end, some from the south end. And just the fact that I had never witnessed such an event in Zanesville with such a diverse group of people and especially for such a meaningful cause,” said Swift.
