„Wiesz co – powiedział Floyd. – Nie chcę rządzić światem. Nie chcę panować nad światem. Chcę po prostu dotknąć świata”. 25 maja 2020 roku George Floyd został zamordowany przed sklepem spożywczym w Minneapolis przez białego policjanta Dereka Chauvina.

Autorzy, opierając się na szerokich pracach reporterskich, przedstawiają przejmujący obraz USA, ukazując, jak człowiek pragnący oddychać poruszył serca ludzi na całym świecie. „Nie mogę oddychać” – błaganie Floyda stało się okrzykiem demonstrantów.
