A Love Song for Latasha

Its very sad, and while the film style is unique and scattered its very beautifully told. Its beautiful her family and friends still carry on her legacy. I highly recommend, its a good reminder how little we value some people and how racism can cut someone's life short

A very painful documentary, broken dreams, revolt, and widespread outrage at the disproportionate violence and latent injustice, Soon Ja Du, a 51-year-old Korean, did not serve a single day in prison, and that fact also contributes to the Uprising Los Angeles in 1992 and remembered in the Black Lives Matter, a simple production, however necessary, with only speeches and memories from friends and relatives...

This is a great documentary . It is well constructed,Brittany Hudson is superb and so likeable. A Love Song for Latasha 10/10

The murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis cop in 2020 spawned a massive push for the US to focus more seriously on its history of racial issues. The Rodney King story is an obvious parallel. However, a lesser known topic from the Rodney King story is Latasha Harlins, a black girl shot by a convenience store owner only days after King's beating.

Sophia Nahli Allison's Academy Award-nominated documentary "A Love Song for Latasha" sets out to look at who Latasha Harlins was beyond the headlines. It's not the greatest documentary, but offers a good look at the life of this girl taken all too soon in an already tense climate. I recommend it.

The front runner for Best Documentary Short at the Academy Awards and deservedly so, I'm very happy the Oscars put this on my radar because A Love Song for Latasha is such a short and sweet tribute to a life taken too soon. Without being preachy or insensitive, it is simply a film that honors the layers the media neglects to share about Latasha Harlins. I was taught about her briefly in college but I'm so glad this Netflix doc colored in the lines in between what I knew. This is such a worthwhile watch because it manages to make a cinematic and beautiful short that is lush and emotionally moving. Well done.
