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.
