Director Alesia “Z” Glidewell ‘AFTERSHOCK: THE NICOLE P. BELL STORY’ tells of the horrific murder of Sean Bell, just hours away from his marriage to Nicole Paultre Bell, at the hands of New York police, in a hail of 50 bullets. This incident caused anger around the world and the demand for improved policing.
Producer Manny Halley, “We believe there is strong commercial value in what is on screen and are excited to release this movie. Aftershock is a deeply moving film that captures the urgency and humanity of a story that still resonates today.”
Nicole Paultre Bell, "With this movie, I am pleased to share my journey - a journey of resilience, hope, and the pursuit of justice. This movie retells my story of finding strength and fighting for accountability after the tragic loss of my husband-to-be and the father of my children. This is a collective experience shared by countless survivors - those who have lost loved ones to senseless violence and those who have fought tirelessly for accountability and civil reform. It's a story of the strength that resides within each one of us, a strength that propels us forward even in the darkest of times. The support my family has received over the years has been a constant source of motivation. It is my hope that this project will honor Sean's memory and serve as a testament to the power of community."
