Cheryl Dorsey

Historia

Retired Sergeant Cheryl Dorsey, formerly of the Los Angeles Police Department, (LAPD) knows the streets. The LA native grew up middle class in South Central LA when it was predominately White and watched "White-flight" turn it into a Black neighborhood, littered with gang activity, compliments of the Crips and Bloods. She offers an insider's view on issues making headline news relating to abuse under the color of authority such as use of force, racial profiling and deadly force. As a Black female, she brings her perspective to such issues as police brutality, work-related discrimination, retaliation, sexism, domestic abuse, etc.

Elmore Leonard: "But Don't Try to Write "
Self
Elmore Leonard, author of more than 40 novels, is renowned in the literary community. From his westerns and early novels of crime based in Detroit and South Florida, right through his complex and virtually plotless later work, Elmore Leonard dissected an America whose founding sins have continued to haunt it all the days. Leonard’s depiction of America is as real as Twain’s Hannibal, Faulkner’s Mississippi and Steinbeck’s Monterey. The new documentary ELMORE LEONARD: “But don’t try to write” explores the prolific author’s legacy and his influence on generations of writers. The documentary features exclusive images and previously unseen home movie footage, family photographs, and in-depth interviews with both literary experts and those who knew him well, including colleagues, family, and childhood friends.
