For those too young to have lived through that period this documentary is a shocking account of police brutality during the nineties.
The 1992 LA riots, (that were a reaction to the acquittal of rogue LA cops, by an entirely white jury), ultimately caused 58 deaths and 1 billion dollars in damage.
I had already seen several documentaries about Rodney King and this documentary doesnt add any new footage, but what it does show is exemplary of how race riots start and how devestating they are.
This documentary shows the buildup to the riots and the riots themselves. Almost 90 minutes of nonstop violence. Beware: it contains several extremely revolting violent scenes.
