Description

In 2011, Rosilyn Temple’s son was murdered in his own apartment. He was 26 years old. To this day, his homicide remains unsolved. Film Uncommon Allies shows how Rosilyn, in the wake and devastation of her son’s murder, turned a personal search for justice into a life changing community call to action. At a time when widespread distrust of law enforcement is at a heightened level, Uncommon Allies explores Rosilyn’s role in effectively bridging the gap between grieving communities and the police department at every homicide scene in the Kansas City, MO area. Rosilyn’s passion, leadership, and dedication are helping to improve police-community relations, and she has become a local hero and beacon of strength for her community. Like Rosilyn, many mothers here in Baton Rouge who have lost their children to violence are turning their pain into progress to heal our city. Join us for a screening and discussion featuring Rosilyn Temple and Major Kari Thompson that we hope will further invigorate us and help to highlight the tireless work of Mothers here in Baton Rouge.
