Simultaneously subtle and on-the-nose, this original yet under-cooked examination of the pressing issue of police brutality centers on three characters — an eyewitness who captured it all on his phone, an African-American police officer routinely confronted by racism on the job, and a local high school student who’s transformed from passive Multiple Central Coast Locations bystander to activist by the events — who serve as the prismatic lens by which first-time director Reinaldo Marcus Green considers the myriad ramifications of such an event. 1h 38m
