I live in California and I had never heard of this true story of a handcuffed young black man that gets shot in the back by a cop.
It’s the story of Oscar, a 22-year-old Bay Area resident, who crosses paths with friends, enemies, family, and strangers on the last day of 2008.
What happens to him will make you wonder why this was not a National story similar to what happened to Trayvon Martin.
Michael B. Jordan who plays Oscar is excellent and the supporting cast delivers a great job as well.
The first hour of the movie is slow but the last 30 minutes will sweep you with various waves of emotion. Grown folk were crying and you can hear a pin drop in the theater. I maned up and was able to not cry.
Verdict:
A Must See movie.

THIS IS A MUST SEE!
I felt it mandatory as a mother of a black boy to take him to see this. I carried my daughter, goddaughter and nieces as well to make them more aware of the world. Ffolkes is right, our Brooklyn moview theatre was silent except for the tears streaming down, even on my 12-yr mini man. Amazing job by all actors on this project. KUDOS to Michael Jordan & Octavia Spencer, who starred and co-produced.
