A new must-see movie just dropped, and trust us — this one isn’t just entertainment. It’s history, heartbreak, activism, and healing all wrapped into one film that every single person in our community needs to watch.
“Aftershock: The Nicole P. Bell Story” — produced by Manny Halley Productions — officially hit theaters November 28, and will be available on all digital platforms starting December 15.
If you’ve been waiting for a film that actually means something, this is it.
The Story That Shook New York to Its Core
This feature tells the devastating true story of Sean Bell, who was killed by NYPD on what was supposed to be the happiest day of his life — his wedding day.
The film follows the pain, strength, and fight for justice led by his fiancée Nicole P. Bell, his mother Valerie Bell, and the countless supporters who refused to let his memory fade.
It is emotional.
It is raw.
And it is necessary.
This isn’t just a movie — it’s a tribute to the Bell family’s courage and a reminder of how gun violence and police abuse ripple through generations.
