Introduction: “Step out of the car!”
The Sandra Bland case was the subject of a 2018 HBO documentary, Say Her Name: The Life
and Death of Sandra Bland, directed and produced by Kate Davis and David Heilbroner. Say
Her Name was created with the full cooperation of Bland’s family, and it does a very good job of
describing her life and capturing her spirit. However, it feeds into the speculation—common in
various corners of the internet—that there was something suspicious about Bland’s death. I do
not find those suspicions persuasive, and Say Her Name presents no real evidence to support
them. The heartbreak of Sandra Bland is, as you have just read, more complicated—and,
tragically, more systemic—than that.
