Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter 03/12/2017
Pollock compellingly points a finger at the institutionalized racism that has permeated a disturbing number of the country's police forces. Go to Full Review
Louis Proyect Counterpunch.org 04/27/2018
A documentary that proves that Michael Brown was the victim of a lynching but by someone in a blue uniform rather than a hood. Go to Full Review

07/01/2020 Stranger Fruit came out in 2017 about the shooting of Mike Brown, but it's amazing to watch now during the current civil unrest. To see that NOTHING has changed and that institutional racism is and will continue to be a problem as long as our federal and state government continues to protect the CRIMINALS in blue is deeply saddening. Anybody that gave this film a negative review, is completely ignorant and possibly prejudice themselves. See more 06/18/2020 Well-done documentary See more 04/13/2020 Terrible how this young man was treated ,killed by a white policeman and then it was all played down and the white officer was never convicted of any crimes, terrible how prejudice is so out there in our country ! See more 01/02/2020 Just wasn't very good. I didn't see any mention of fruit in it at all. It wasn't really even strange. Weird flex. See more 08/06/2019 I thought documentaries gave both sides of the story to let the viewer decide what the truth is. This one is only gives the story from the view of people who hate the police and don't care if they tell the truth or a lie. See more 11/11/2018 This movie is based in fiction. The actual tape proves the person he was. The tape was also irrelevant as Michael was shot because he went after the police office not because of a drug deal gone wrong. Pollack's desperate need to prove the police were wrong should have been used on a case where the police were wrong... the office should not have been fired and Brown was wrong. An 18 yr old (not the 14 yr old picture they use to skew public opinion) adult made poor choices and this film perpetuates lies and continues to divide us. Shameful documentary just like Making a Murderer.... show all facts and you will see why grand juries go the way they go. See more Read all reviews
