CYCLE investigates what happens in the silence between viral cases of police brutality, exposing the system that allows it to repeat. Centering the 2019 Juneteenth Day killing of Ty'rese West—a Black teenager killed by police in a small Wisconsin suburb—the film unearths the quiet unraveling that happens behind closed doors—through courtrooms, sworn depositions, and years of unanswered questions—when a family seeks truth with no headlines to back them.

Featuring interviews with national legal scholars and rare access to the officer’s sworn deposition, CYCLE reveals the raw, often unseen struggle for accountability when there's no video, no headlines, and no public pressure.

Timely, haunting, and already striking a deep chord with audiences, CYCLE breaks through the noise to confront the silence that follows.
