Über diesen Titel

Tonight on the podcast, we step into a conversation that demands attention.

We sit down with filmmakers Laura Dylan Kerman and William Howell to discuss their powerful documentary Cycle— a film examining the death of Ty'Rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager from Racine.

On June 15, 2019, Ty’Rese was stopped for a bicycle light violation by a sergeant from the Mount Pleasant Police Department. What followed ended with Ty’Rese being fatally shot. The officer, Eric Gizi, stated he acted in self-defense after allegedly seeing a firearm. Prosecutors later declined to file charges.

Cycle does not just revisit headlines — it explores the broader patterns, the community impact, and the questions that still echo years later.

Tonight’s conversation dives into:

  • The making of Cycle

  • The emotional weight of telling stories like this

  • Accountability, policy, and the meaning of justice

  • The ripple effects on families and communities

This is not just about one night.
It’s about the cycles we repeat — and whether we’re willing to break them.

Join us for a thoughtful, necessary dialogue. Listen with an open mind. Share with intention.
