(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL #236 - Movies: Ryan Coogler "Fruitvale Station" (fr, pt)

Based on a true story, this film tells that national newspapers call "blunder" and fall 
into the category of "news items." Starting from the gunshot murder of a young black 
American in 2009, shot by police on the platform of a subway station, Ryan Coogler 
endeavored to make us live the last twenty-four hours of this young father family. Petty 
criminal, ex-con, infidel, but also attentive father family, here are a few lines in the 
portrait he paints of Oscar Grant, played by Michael B. Jordan. ---- The sequence of 
events filmed with a mobile camera puts us at the heart of the action to the fatal 
outcome. This effective film that plays on the viewer's empathy carried over from close to 
long waiting time in the hospital concerned is a useful reminder of the ordinary, everyday 
violence of the police, especially against minorities. The police officer who fired the 
shot was sentenced to two years in prison.
