#WhileBlack is an American-Canadian documentary film, directed by Sidney Fussell and Jennifer Holness and released in 2026.[1] The film profiles Darnella Frazier, the woman who became caught up in the murder of George Floyd when her documentation of the incident for social media played a key role in undermining the police's official account of the events, and Diamond Reynolds, the woman whose livestream played a similar role following the killing of Philando Castile.[2]
The film premiered on March 13, 2026, at the 2026 South by Southwest Film & TV Festival,[3] and had its Canadian premiere on April 24 at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival.[4]
