137 Shots (2021)
8/10
First-rate documentary about cops
18 December 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The film examines two cases in Cleveland in which white cops killed Black victims. The first case, the shooting of Tmothy Russell and Malisa Williams, gives the movie its title as police fired 137 shots into the car in which they were riding. The pair were unarmed. The second case may be better known: two cops shot and killed a twelve year-old boy, Tamir Rice, who was holding an air gun.

The documentary factually examines these cases, the causes of police violence, and offers solutions offered by various Black leaders.

Well worth watching.
