Why these young activists are on hunger strike for Breonna Taylor

Four protesters have begun a hunger strike in the American state of Kentucky, demanding justice for Breonna Taylor. She was a black woman killed by police in her home in Louisville in March of this year. The police say they raided her flat because they suspected it was being used to receive drugs.

Newsday's Bola Mosuro asked Vincent Gonzales, one of the hunger-striking protesters and asked what they are hoping to achieve.
