From Dylan Avery, the investigative filmmaker behind the renowned documentary "Loose Change 9/11." Avery now tackles nationwide police brutality. During his investigation, on August 2014, the killing of Michael Brown and the ensuing social and media upheaval become the backdrop for this hard-hitting expose of everyday citizens and their sometimes violent and inequitable relationship with police - and the public's ongoing search for justice. This documentary approaches the subject from many perspectives, including the voices of law enforcement, celebrities and those directly affected by police violence and shootings, as well addressing the high-profile incidents involving Michael Brown, Tamir Rice and Oscar Grant.

Press Quotes
Makes for a captivating documentary and it was nice to hear from many different perspectives on this issue. With more voices and more awareness, we will hopefully see real change come in the near future.
—Fansided
There's plenty of worth in keeping an open mind and seeing both sides. I did like that Avery got the point of view of many former police officers.

The most confronting and powerful film of the year.
