   Social Injustice

   He already touched on it in Get Out when they are pulled over and the police officer makes unnecessary demands based on race and at the end when the girl is dying and calls out to the officer knowing the chances were good that they’d believe her rather than him. I think one of the few ways to explore that topic without being a replication of reality is to explore the ending situation as a plot. A white woman who pulls men into those situations by turning to the police and handing the black men over to the corrupt system.

   Jordan Peele is so creative that it would be impossible to predict what movie he is going to release next. I could see it being one that follows an African American policeman that is seeking justice for all of the wrongful murders that all of the white policeman in his precinct are responsible for. This could lead to an exciting film with an unexpected Jordan Peele twist at the end.

   I think it be interesting see the a horror movie about the police, but from inside the force showing how corrupted it is. You could put a horror twist on it by making the police a secret cult.  You could touch on aspect like how they have often take an oath not to turn or betray the "brotherhood".

   I think it would be interesting to create a plot surrounding a serial killer at one of the protests and the cops having to go undercover as protestors in order to stop them. I think that throughout the movie this will allow the white cops to become better educated on what the protests really are and allow themselves to understand their own shortcomings.

   Jordan Peele is one of the best directors out right now with his out of the box thinking and his deeper messages he wants to get across in his films. My best guess for a movie plot would be the story of a college photographer who first starts off capturing pictures of the city of Atlanta. He then goes to march and takes pictures of the moments during the protest but then he runs in to a problem. He walks off to a side street to find a restroom but walks into a group of cops beating and handcuffing young teens down an alley. One cop tell a few others to throw the kids in the cop truck and take them to the safe house where they are part of a big sex traffic ring.
