The Forced Trajectory Project is a media, public relations, and advocacy organization documenting the rippling effects police violence has on communities beginning with families who have lost their loved ones to police murder. Utilizing moving pictures, stills, and sound, the project’s goal is to paint an intimate and accurate portrait of the “forced trajectory” these family members find themselves on after their loved one is killed.
