Killing County (2023)
Modern Day Greek/Shakespearean Tragedy
5 February 2023 - 16 out of 28 users found this review helpful.
In the documentary "The Killing County", the actions of the Coroner, the Sheriff Department and the Bakersfield Police Department exposes character flaws akin to a modern day "Greek Tragedy" or "Shakespearean Tragedy". There are so many instances of hubris, misplaced trust, pride and lack of self-control.
Damacio Diaz crashes like Icarus,
Donny Youngblood's pride and arrogance like Julius Ceasar, etc.
The last "Modern Day Tragedy" film I saw about a homicide of an unarmed citizen was "Fruitvale Station" based on the 2009 shooting of Oscar Grant.
It was shocking and surreal how some individuals were intertwined in multiple shootings. You could not have script this to if you tried. This has to become an award winning documentary.
