The film shows how so called "Dirty Data" is created through discriminatory policing practices and how the usage of this data within predictive policing software affects people from the black and brown community. The main goal of the LAPD was to prevent crime with the use of data mining. But the predictions are only as good as the data that is fed into the algorithms which try to predict future crime patterns. The film was produced with a modified version of Grand Theft Auto 5's game engine. With this approach it doesn't just touch on stereotypes incorporated in the game but also bypasses viewing habits of the audience. At the same time the film blurs the lines between conventional documentary formats, game and film. See less
