EVERY
MOTHER’S SON
In Person: Kadiatou Diallo, Iris Baez, and Doris Boskey
— mothers of those sons killed by police; roducer/directors
Tami Gold and Kelly Anderson In the late 1990s, three
victims of police brutality made headlines around the
country: Amadou Diallo, the young West African man whose
killing sparked intense public protest; Anthony Baez,
killed in an illegal choke-hold; and Gary Busch, a Hasidic
Jew killed outside his Brooklyn home. Every Mother’s
Son profiles three New York mothers who unexpectedly
find themselves united to seek justice and transform
their grief into an opportunity for profound social
change. (USA, 55 min., color, 2004, Directors: Tami
Gold and Kelly Anderson)
