In Spa City Revolutionary, Lexis Figuereo, a single father of two and abolitionist, contends with the isolation and pressure of being a Black man and revolutionary activist in rural America--the "spa town" of Saratoga Springs, upstate New York. Set squarely against the backdrop of a country reckoning with its violent past and volatile present, a small-town activist leverages a national moment to remind everyone that justice starts at the most local of levels while contending with sinister methods of surveillance that threaten his very livelihood. 

Roles: Co-director, producer, cinematographer, and editor

Two and a half years since the movement for George Floyd took hold nationwide, police killings of Black people in the U.S. continue to scratch record highs. Now, small-town America, which has typically evaded mainstream media coverage, has become a testing ground for new and insidious ways of silencing Black activism.
