Hallandale Beach woman's documentary to show how Trayvon protests jolted Sanford officials

With George Zimmerman's acquittal in the slaying of South Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, a post-verdict legacy of songs, movies and analysis may be on the horizon.

So far, Martin's mother, Sybrina Fulton, collaborated with a gospel artist to record a song. A juror in Zimmerman's trial announced a book deal that was quickly scrapped. And filmmaker Spike Lee has spoken about the dramatic potential of the nationally watched case.

"I wanted to know what city officials and police did, and what they didn't do," said Sherry Suttles, 66, who directed and narrated "44 Daze," a reference to the time between the killing of the 17-year-old Miami Gardens youth on Feb. 26, 2012, and the day that Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder. "I was curious."

A 90-second trailer of "44 Daze" has been posted by Suttles on YouTube. Because Suttles has not yet found a distributor for the completed film, a release date for it hasn't been set.

1. Wow, that was depressing

I guess I should say that I'm surprised but I'm not, which is even more distressing. The anger and racism in so many of those letters is beyond appalling.

2. They think that their system is fair and balanced, because no one has bothered to show them

just how off the beaten path they are from where we should be if the Constitution were applied to their day to day system of government.

Every aspect of life is based on a merit system, and nobody bothers to follow the law or process. It happens so often that ordinary people don't have much practice when it comes to critical thinking skills.
