"Reckless Indiference" is a documentary about the killing of a young man of a stab wound. James Farris Jr., who was dealing drugs, was also the son of a retired detective of the L.A.P.D. The director William Gazecki tries to present the case from all angles, but in a way, it takes the view that the condemned were given the wrong sentence.
It appears that life sentences for the young people involved is a high price to pay, taking into consideration that other offenders get off with less strict sentences. However, the technicality applied to these young men has to do with what applies to the violent gangs operating in Los Angeles.
The case is made that the prosecution went too far in the case by all the defense. This tragedy, unfortunately, touched all the people of the Agoura Hills community because nobody could have foreseen something like this could ever happen there.
This is a true American tragedy.
