Down a Dark Stairwell is a 2020 documentary about the 2014 shooting of Akai Gurley in New York City produced by the film production company Noncompliant Films. The documentary made its debut broadcast on the PBS series Independent Lens on April 12, 2021.[2][3][4] It was later broadcast on the Criterion Channel[5] and distributed by Kino Lorber on their streaming platform [6] and Kanopy.[7]
In 2014, Akai Gurley was walking with his friend in a dark stairwell of a public housing project when he was shot by NYPD officer Peter Liang. The film covers the events after the shooting and follows a multi-cultural coalition of protesters who support the conviction of Liang. In contrast, the film also follows Asian-American community protesters that argue Liang was used as a scapegoat.
