I Can't Breathe (God Forgive Them)

We all watch indie films and expect there to be technical flaws, confusing or unpolished subplots and poor acting...especially when the budget is under $100k but ya know what, this film impressed me. It was made with heart and based on an actual event with a real message to the public and not just entertainment. Entertaining is what Hollywood is there for. The main event in this film is similar to a nationally televised and recognized tragedy and titled as such. While this may offend some people I feel it's important to understand that this unfortunate ordeal isn't copyrighted to anyone. If it's happened elsewhere it should also be fair game for a film such as this one. Good job!

This movie was very gripping and disturbing at the same time. I felt such empathy and sadness for the victim for all he had to endure, and such disdain for the ignorance of the police officers involved, May God forgive them. I hope every law enforcement agency would require cadets to see this movie prior to joining the force. The sad part about it is that there are still police officers that behave this way in every city in every state. All my prayers and support to the victim and his family and pray that they may have a blessed life from here on in. I can't wait to see the final outcome I just see that justice is restored.

Thinking about this heart breaking movie brings tears to my eyes! Police brutality is getting worse in this country every day! My heart goes out to my big brother Tommy who I love as blood family in Christ! The thought of being attacked by law enforcement when you are innocent scares me to know end. In my hometown of Cincinnati Ohio, there have been some very bad cops over the decades. In Chillicothe Ohio, there has been corruption in law enforcement as well. Tommy is blessed to have survived this brutal senseless attack. These corrupt police better repent and get saved and lead better lives because Jesus is soon to return. I know Tommy online and I am so proud to call him my brother. Kevin Sorbo is one of my favorite actors. This Christian movie should win awards. My heart goes out to Tommy and I consider him a modern day Superman! I have plans of joining his church in NYC Statin Island. God bless this true super hero and God bless his wife, kids and family. The movie cast is full of superior actors and actresses. I want to buy the book and a copy of this movie. This is hands down one of the best christian movies of the 21st century! I highly recommend!

Excellent story! The passion and effort that went into creating this is amazing. Tom Laresca is an incredible person- so kind and genuine. He has worked very hard for a long time to share this story on a larger level. I was fortunate enough to hear the story directly from Tom and the movie is just as good! It is so amazing to be able to see it played out visually. The quality of the filming and acting is excellent- likely because everyone who had a part in this truly understands how important this story is. I highly recommend you take the time to watch this movie and share it with others. Thank you to all involved!

The title came from deposition taken from the security guard 20 years ago, the guard stated he heard Mr. Laresca screaming I can't breathe God forgive them. Mr. Laresca tried lawyer after lawyer to question the police how he wound up in intensive care he never was able to have them questioned. Then he had cancer, depression years later he wrote a book about it, three attempts to make a movie in the last 10 years he was ripped off twice, and all he wants is for the police to finally be questioned. The police were on top of him for 25 minutes while handcuffed, no empathy for him, why? Ambulance s.
