Tonight on the podcast, we step into a conversation that demands attention.

We sit down with filmmakers Laura Dylan Kerman and William Howell to discuss their powerful documentary Cycle— a film examining the death of Ty'Rese West, an 18-year-old Black teenager from Racine.

On June 15, 2019, Ty’Rese was stopped for a bicycle light violation by a sergeant from the Mount Pleasant Police Department. What followed ended with Ty’Rese being fatally shot. The officer, Eric Gizi, stated he acted in self-defense after allegedly seeing a firearm. Prosecutors later declined to file charges.

Cycle does not just revisit headlines — it explores the broader patterns, the community impact, and the questions that still echo years later.

Tonight’s conversation dives into:

The making of Cycle

The emotional weight of telling stories like this

Accountability, policy, and the meaning of justice

The ripple effects on families and communities

This is not just about one night.
It’s about the cycles we repeat — and whether we’re willing to break them.
