This Director has the worst case of white guilt that I have ever seen. Speaking personally as a true crime documentarian, I can tell you it is really difficult, if not impossible for a white filmmaker to make a documentary about a killer who happens to be black without the race argument turning back to the white filmmaker. He knew, sure as god made little green apples, that he would have been dismissed as a racist if he condemned Michael Brown. It also goes without saying that he wouldn’t have gotten interviews from his friends and family. He changed the narrative so people would watch his movie. Same thing with Michael Moore. This is why no one trusts documentarians anymore. I believe anytime a teenager is killed, it is a tragedy, regardless of the circumstances. But the circumstances do matter. Michael Brown smiling in one frame of that surveillance footage does not prove one goddamn thing, and the Director is smart enough to know that. Everyone has gotten into an argument where the other person started smiling or laughing. But he manipulated that image to make it seem that Michael Brown was a nice guy. Another example is him coming into the store later to retrieve his cigarillos which, by the way, makes no sense. Why would he not have taken them with him? That’s how a trade works. But the Director claims that because Michael’s hands were locked behind him that it was a sign of respect and tranquility. You know what isn’t a sign of respect and tranquility? Shoving the store owner several times which is what the video really shows. I have gotten into arguments at stores many times, but never once have these altercations turned violent. If they did, I would leave. Any sensible person would. The acceptance of violence in our communities need to change, because all it does is create more violence. That is it. When someone dies young, it is incredibly hard for a family to accept. But they have no choice. What they don’t have to accept is that person’s lifestyle probably contributed to them dying young. Black Lives Matter should be internalized, not externalized as it mostly is. If Michael Brown valued his own life, he would still be alive. If any white filmmaker made a movie expressing this, they would certainly be canceled. And again, the Director knew this long before making this blatant and irresponsible piece of propaganda.

I’m not sure the actors name, but the guy who plays the older brother, he bugs his eyes out after every single line.

I loved it. Big Selena fan. Though I got to admit I would like it a lot more if the girl who played Selena didn't look so much like Farrah Abraham from Teen Mom.
