IMDb plot summary: The aftermath of a police killing of a black man, told through the eyes of the bystander who filmed the act, an African-American police officer and a high-school baseball phenom inspired to take a stand.
Directed by Reinaldo Marcus Green. Starring Chanté Adams, Giuseppe Ardizzone, Nicole Beharie, and Cara Buono.
This is an interesting concept for a movie, but the individual pieces to it aren't quite as interesting. The final piece is definitely the highlight of the film, which is kind of unexpected, since it's the least directly connected to the central conflict.
