This excellent documentary describes the aftermath of the killing of an 18-year-old black man, Michael Brown, Jr., in Ferguson, MO, by a white police officer. Michael Brown's offense was walking in the middle of the street, thereby blocking traffic. Then the dead body of Michael Brown stayed in the middle of the street, blocking traffic for four and a half hours.
The aftermath includes peaceful protests, riots, looting, and alleged - and proven - police violence. While the officer who killed Michael Brown was not indicted, the DOJ launched an investigation into the Ferguson Police Department (FPD) and determined that the FPD engaged in systematic discriminatory practices against the black civilians of Ferguson.
Michael Brown's grieving father and other families whose children were killed by police, created a foundation to support their recovery and to work peacefully for systemic change.
