Sonia Saraiya Variety 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. Sep 25, 2017 Full Review Ben Travers indieWire Blatant and unflinching, the documentary depicts a world that is neither well-balanced nor fair. Rated: A Sep 25, 2017 Full Review Jason Bailey Flavorwire The film's main virtue is the clarity with which it lays out the cause and effect relationships. May 6, 2017 Full Review Sesali Bowen Refinery29 [Sacha] Jenkins' project feels less like an opportunistic grab at a controversial topic, and more like a case study in the source of the waves that keep crashing over America. Sep 25, 2017 Full Review Ken Tucker Yahoo! TV Burn is filled with amazing and often cleverly chosen footage, including an interview with singer Barry White on Dinah Shore's 1970s daytime talk show in which he talks about his participation in the Watts riots.

adam b 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. Very informative and very heartbreaking. A must see for everyone that live in the USA Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I would like to see more of the reality Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Great documentary, Gives a good background on what is happening with Cops on 2020. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A really disturbing documentary about the racism that dictates and orchestrates the actions of the LAPD. When Ice Cube sang "Fuck the Police" he was being polite. Subhuman filth in blue. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
