George Floyd’s death triggered a ripple effect which was felt around the world. The brutal, senseless murder of a Black man by the very people who are paid to protect us has only been made worse by the fact we have had to view harrowing videos and images of his killing countless times on the news and social media. The rage, hurt and sadness that has been felt by Black people has been hard to bear. So, where do we put all of that pain? How can we channel it when it feels as if the white mainstream is still controlling the narrative, with films, documentaries and news of our suffering plastered all over social media, ready to trigger our trauma often without warning?

THE FLOYD EFFECT is a digital horror experience told through a series of three short films featuring stories told by Black-British writers who seek to highlight the horror stories that never make the headlines.
