Ignorance is NOT bliss. Many negative situations arise from ignorance. This documentary should be watched by all and used as a learning tool to stimulate much needed dialog.
Racial profiling is "morally indefensible" and the ongoing problem of police brutality needs to be addressed. We must separate our support of law enforcement as the guardians of safety and order, from the abusers of the system. If we are to have a social justice system that works for all, we must ALL pay attention when it does not work for some, especially those in less empowered segments of society.
I become emotional each time I watch this film. It is heart wrenching, thought-provoking; the people real, the stories universal. I may never know what certain types of people in this country go through every day and to be on the other side of the camera to document such accounts is unfathomable to me. But I do know it's been worth my time to watch and learn. It is filled with such personal tragedy and hard-to-face facts. The filmmakers have cleverly portrayed the very difficult issue at hand, empowering the viewer with information and hopes for the future it appears to be years of hard work in the making resulting in a timeless message.
