In his directorial debut, Ryan Coogler teams up with Michael B. Jordan to depict the last days of Oscar Grant, a young, Black man who died after being shot by a police officer at Fruitvale BART Station in Oakland, California.
With the recent killing of George Floyd once again reminding people of the prevalence of racism and police brutality in America, the story of Oscar Grant is more relevant than ever. This film is a compelling memoir of a young man whose life was filled with humanity and hope—a life among many others that was ended too soon.
