Strong Island is an American 2017 true-crime documentary film directed by Yance Ford.
The film centers on the April 1992 murder of Ford's brother William, a 24-year-old African-American teacher in New York, who was shot and killed by Mark P. Reilly, a 19-year-old white chop shop mechanic.[2][3] An all-white grand jury in Suffolk County declined to indict his killer, who claimed self-defense.[4]
