StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

deelish-23399 I've only really heard about the problems black people face when dealing with the police and from a few videos of police shootings that were completely uncalled for. This gave me a much better perspective of what is actually happening. The movie was filmed as you would see on an hour long special on the history channel. It's a bit above average production. I don't generally watch these types of films but the trailer for this movie intrigued me enough and the source material is something that I feel everyone should know more about including myself. And after reading these other reviews, do you guys have family in the LAPD or something?

jrdodson A documentary on racism that is unremittingly racist is staggeringly hypocritical as well as a waste of time, money, and the goodwill of the audience. I can sum this film up in three short phrases: White bad, Black good, Asian marginal. If that is your worldview, this biased-beyond-belief, virtue signaling, race baiting piece of propaganda is for you. If you want something balanced, you'll need to talk to someone with a balanced perspective, and without a ten ton chip on their shoulder.

techsquadcom I thought this documentary was excellent. I watched it with my father who grew up at 118th & Central (1946). I later lived at the same address with my Grandparents. I remember the second uprising but knew little about the first. I appreciate the film maker for composing this documentary. I will not spoil, but in my opinion the late, great Mayor Tom Bradley had the best quote in this documentary. It is worth it to watch this documentary just to hear his quote.

coburn_karma The documentary of the 65, 92 LA riots harbours anger while you watch over the inhumane treatment of all races. The interviews of first hand witness accounts seems biased from both sides of the coin, which makes you wonder if the lessons were learned. Racism is a tool used by both black and white for political and financial gains, is the over laying message I got from this documentary.I wouldn't recommend this one for people with high blood pressure.
