What it tells us about cultural myths -- how they develop and why -- goes far beyond a single flashpoint.

Steele does a great job of recounting the events from an objective eye, and whether you agree with him or not, it's hard to argue with a lot of the facts he presented.

Rated: 9/10

National Review

What Killed Michael Brown? is a rare doc that opposes the media's current trend of fabricating race and "justice."

Its mostly a filmed essay but it is a vital dissenting opinion from the mainstream discourse. Steele approaches this with a reserve that is admirable.

It definitely has a point of view, but this is a thoughtful, excellent documentary. When it was produced, Amazon refused to carry it, until a few editorials changed their mind. If more people were to see this, our country would be a healthier place for all.

Steele pushes against the preferred race narrative with a calm and steady hand. Insightful, hopeful, confident - this documentary is a must-see for anyone who is actually seeking truth. There is a reason why there are no critic reviews, the same reason it is so important to see this video.

I've been hearing about this docu. In a lot of the podcasts I listen to, and finally watched it. So glad I did. From the start, the pace, tone, feeling of it was one of an enquiring restless mind looking for the truth, not a truth. You hear so many lies, or don't hear things to cover up truths, to hide lies. This was such a fascinating watch. Like you were in a college professors class listening to a great discussion, eyes peeled forward. It's about the killing of Michael Brown, but that is just one of the heady ideas shared. So glad there are men like Shelby who want to find out for themselves the truths that many want to cover up.
