When Roger Wright went to QFC 18 years ago, his life changed forever. The victim of police violence which led to falsified medical records and a nearly two-decade fight for justice, Wright has been involved in a battle for his reputation which has largely flown under the radar.

We Don’t Just Matter In Death aims to change that. The film, produced by LéTiana Severe, Lili Gu and Nikkita Oliver, brings Roger’s voice to the forefront as he continues to process the traumatic events he suffered.

“I think that it's important that people know that these incidents have happened prior to us having cell phones to film them,” Severe said. “I think it's important for people to know that the overwhelming majority of police violence doesn't result in someone's death. Folks are still alive trying to live with it, and that’s what Roger’s story shows.”

For Wright, the journey has taken him in directions he never imagined.

“It’s crazy,” Wright said. “I’m just a normal adult, working and things, but my life is never normal.”

He says police beat him in a QFC parking lot following an evening at his grandparents house, and then proceeded to leave him naked on the I-90 Bridge. The medical records at Harborview, where he was taken, state that he was on PCP, which Wright says he has never touched.

“It's a character assassination,” Wright said.

Wright’s battle has taken him all the way to the State Supreme Court, where despite winning one case he still feels that his story is not complete. He says there is much more to be done and is still waiting for accountability to be brought upon those who mistreated him.
