2. Keith Baraka:

   As the murder of George Floyd drew attention worldwide to police abuse of Black men, we must also remember that police violence comes in many forms—including through the dehumanization that results when officers treat Black men like criminals. I am grateful to District Attorney Boudin for valuing Black lives and for refusing to excuse police violence.

3. Caroline Light:

   The fact that we still see this( dehumanization of Blackness) is, I think, proof that we've not really come that far, i wish that I had a silver lining. But I think that we're going to continue to see these kinds of narratives play out because they're so effective, ultimately( at reinforcing existing power structures).

4. Tommy Curry:

   Black men are always perceived as being taller, more aggressive, or violent, more prone to conflict, more athletic than they actually are, and it's those social perceptions that have been linked to forms of dehumanization -- likening them to apes, sorts of primal beasts and animals -- that fit into how we think of Black men, both as athletes and as kind of super predators, as superhuman.

5. Adrien Brody:

   I'm filled with a lot of sadness tonight because I'm accepting an award at such a strange time, my experience of making this film made me very aware of the sadness and the dehumanization of people at the times of war, and the repercussions of war.
