“It really surprised me a lot, anything like this happening in Charlottesville,” said 17-year-old Greg Nachmanovitch, who documented the Wednesday, March 18, protest over the arrest of UVA student Martese Johnson by Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control agents. Also filming the protest, organized by UVA’s Black Student Alliance, were Will Jones, 17, and recent VCU film school grad Kai Irving, who posted the footage on the YouTube page for Irving’s film collective Fall Line.
