Activist Mother

The third episode of Blue Marks focuses on the Israel Police’s treatment of the Jewish-Ethiopian community. The death of Yosef Salmasa after a particularly violent arrest spurred the establishment of Imahot al Hamishmar (Mothers on Watch), a movement that protests wherever police violence and racist profiling are used. The group warns: When a large, powerful group ignores police violence against a minority, that violence will end up reaching it too.
