Plot summary
On April 29, 1992, Los Angeles exploded when four police officers were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King. But the city had been smouldering for years. This provocative documentary looks at how decades of racial tensions, injustice, and a troubled relationship between the LAPD and the African-American community led to the uprising. Local residents, artists and community organisers share firsthand accounts of police brutality, the '65 Watts riots, the rise of LA street gangs, and the '92 incident.

This is a powerful documentary that explains the African American struggle to just exist in LA with a factual none glamorous approach that I found compulsive viewing. Interviews from both sides effectively shed light on the situation. From the graphic opening scene of a street execution of a homeless man, to the father who had to tell his 12 year old son how to survive when meeting a policeman, it was powerful. I found myself deeply moved. Well done to all involved in this depiction of historical and sadly still current situation.

Relevant documentary on the history of abuses made by the LAPD. Informative and telling.
