Violin Vigils Honor the Memory of Elijah McClain

New York Times

Brown Planet Productions collaborated with The New York Times to document a violin vigil for Elijah McClain, a 23 old black man who was killed by police in Aurora, Colorado in 2019.

Brown Planet Productions founder Carlos Javier Ortiz was assigned by The New York Times to video document a heroic violin vigil for Elijah McClain. The video supplements a New York Times article, chronicling the events that led to a national-wide series of vigils and highlights a socially distanced musical performance during the summer of 2020.
