ATLANTA — A documentary examining the death of Cornelius Taylor is set to premiere Monday night in Atlanta.

The film, titled “From Grief to Action: Justice for Cornelius Taylor,” focuses on the death of the Atlanta man who was killed during a 2025 homeless encampment sweep on Old Wheat Street.

According to organizers, the documentary examines the policies that led to Taylor’s death and the city’s approach to homelessness. Taylor was killed when city crews cleared a homeless encampment.

The screening will take place at the Plaza Theater on Ponce. A red carpet event is scheduled to begin 45 minutes before the 7 p.m. showing.

Following the film, a panel discussion and public question-and-answer session will be held. Atlanta City Council member Kelsea Bond and housing advocate Alison Johnson are scheduled to participate.

Advocates have called for justice for Taylor and increased dignity and support for Atlanta’s homeless population.

The event is free and open to the public, but reservations are required.
