NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2024 ~ In the midst of a time where the echoes of history are growing louder, a powerful narrative has emerged to bridge the past and present. "Chicago 1919," a groundbreaking film created by Seanne N. Murray, Esq., delves into a pivotal moment in American history that holds striking parallels to our current social landscape.
The film tells the story of eight days of violence that shook Chicago in 1919, leaving scars on the city's history. Men, women, and children were targeted, homes were destroyed, and neighborhoods were burned. As we continue to grapple with issues such as misinformation, division, and threats to democracy, the lessons from 1919 hold renewed urgency.
Khalil Gibran Muhammad, Ford Foundation Professor at Harvard Kennedy School, describes the manuscript as a combination of "Gangs of New York," "Rosewood," "West Side Story," and "Stand by Me." This encapsulates the film's blend of historical significance and compelling storytelling.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Julie Dash, "Chicago 1919" boasts an exceptional cast including Keith David, Hawthorne James, and Rosanna Arquette. David emphasizes the relevance of this project on multiple levels: its historical significance, social conscience, and familial resonance. He states that "the time is now" for this project.
As we continue to face challenges to our democratic institutions today, "Chicago 1919" serves as a reminder of storytelling's power to educate and inspire change. It connects past violence to contemporary issues such as disinformation and voter suppression, urging viewers to confront history's echoes.
This film is more than just a movie – it is a catalyst for vital conversations. In a media landscape dominated by fleeting narratives, "Chicago 1919" stands out as a beacon for those who recognize storytelling's ability to challenge norms and spark change.
Murray asserts that they are creating a narrative that invites people to engage, reflect, and see how past lessons can guide us towards a more just society and resilient democracy.
