Sonia Saraiya Variety 09/25/2017
Documentaries about 1992 are about re-examining the extant archive of material about King. They are also about trying to re-assert the power of videotaped truth, 25 years after realizing its surprising, galling, and definitively maddening limits. Go to Full Review Ben Travers IndieWire 09/25/2017

adam b 04/07/2021 A documentary that exposes how the LAPD was created, examines why gangs became prevalent throughout LA, and the disconnect and mistreatment of blacks in LA that snowballed into the LA riots.
