Conservative media group PragerU released an already-viral short documentary
on Wednesday digging into the repercussions of policies and attitudes
promoted by far-Left activist group Black Lives Matter.
Notably, the film, �Their Lives Mattered: The Forgotten Victims of Crime in
America,� is presented by a former BLM activist, Xaviaer DuRousseau.
In �Their Lives Mattered,� DuRousseau speaks to the families of innocent
children who were slain in inner cities, crime experts, and activists to
understand the heartbreaking cost of BLM-supported policies.
�I was a Black Lives Matter activist,� DuRousseau says in the opening of the
film, as shown in the teaser clip, below. �I was initially drawn to BLM
because the media convinced me that thousands of black people were being shot
and killed by racist white police officers.�
�The �fiery but mostly peaceful� protests made me rethink my perspective,�
DuRousseau continues, referring to a CNN description of a destructive BLM
protest. �It didn�t make sense to me why black rioters would loot and destroy
their own communities in the name of racial justice, and why the media only
cared about the loss of black life when the perpetrator was white.�

Happy Gregg, a woman who lost her four-year-old son MJ to apparent gang
violence in Chicago, told DuRousseau that not a single person has been
prosecuted for the killing.
�When my son was murdered, I thought there would be outrage, and that justice
was going to be swift,� Gregg said. �But I realized, there�s no outrage; I�m
gonna have to be that outrage, I�m gonna have to be that voice for my baby.�
�No one even knows that a four-year-old was murdered, because there�s a lot
of people murdered. Like, �get in line� is almost the tone of it, here,� the
mother said. �Through that, I realized that a lot of children had been
murdered. And I had no idea.�
The same weekend MJ was killed, seven other children were also killed in
Chicago. There was no city-wide, let alone nationwide, protest, like the
media helped drum up for the death of George Floyd.
DuRousseau also spoke to a man named Nathan Wallace, who lost his seven-
year-old daughter Natalia to gang violence in Chicago. One man speaking
alongside Wallace following the crime, posed, �If black lives don�t matter to
us, how the hell is it supposed to matter to anybody else?�
Others in the documentary, including Manhattan Institute senior fellow Rafael
Mangual and STAND founder Bishop E.W. Jackson, help to shed light on crime
statistics often ignored in the media and the policies and activism behind
increased crime.
