This is Democracy Now, Democracy Now.org, the War and Peace Report. I'm Amy Goodman.

Ten years ago today, Khalif Browder died by suicide. It was June 6, 2015, after spending three years at New York's Rikers Island jail without trial, much of that time in solitary confinement and brutal conditions, after he was accused at the age of 16 of stealing a backpack.

We look now at a new film that aims to remember Khalif and his mother Vanita and explore the impact of the trauma they faced and how his family responded.

In a minute, we'll be joined by the film's director and by Khalif's brother.

First, this is the trailer for the film.

Music This is the trailer for the film. I'm caught up in time.

As it stands still.

Things are happening around me, but for me, everything is moving at a snail's pace.

My mind is adrift as the visions of life float around me.

You see, time stopped for me the day my son died.

I cannot fast forward the clock to the present, nor can I rewind it and prevent his death. I will forever be stuck in time on that fateful day, the day my son Khalif took his life.

I have to let it out.

And that's how I let it out.

You know, I cry and I look at his pictures and I talk to him.

But most importantly, I write.

Whenever I feel anything, I write it down.

And that's how I keep a little part of my sanity

because it is so hard.

I'm his advocate.

I'm just keeping it going.

I want everybody to remember him.

I don't want his story to die.
