Eye of the Storm

Congratulations to local filmmaker Kramer Herzog for winning the CreaTiVe Excellence Award for Eye of the Storm.

On the night of December 13, 2005, San Quentin Village was hit by a media storm generated by the coming execution of Crips co-founder Tookie Williams. The film's director, Kramer Herzog, is a resident of the village, and in return for the use of his property, the FOX National News crew granted Herzog permission to film and interact with them over the course of the 24 hours leading up to the midnight execution.

Through the interviews of neighbors, news producers, and protesters, along with the raw footage on the scene, Eye of the Storm offers a variety of perspectives on why such a destructive frenzy occurred, and whether or not it is a necessary part of free speech.
