Racial discrimination by police enforcement in the United States has indeed a long history. This film is a reaction to the forced killing of black people by the police, which caused the citizens to protest against the police and protest against the serious discrimination against black people in the laws of the United States!

The film is quite plot-oriented, and the narrative of the story is also particularly humanized. At first glance, it is a well-made film with a prominent theme. There are so many videos on the Internet. From the title and posters, you can't tell that this is a good movie, and it's a situation where there are demonstrations in the United States and around the world to oppose the shooting of a black man by the San Francisco police in the United States. brutality. The black female protagonist of the film is still a high school student. On the way home from a school party with a black male classmate, after being stopped by a young white police officer, do not shoot the male classmate to death, and the police involved are not responsible. The film is such a very common opening, what is the impression on the audience? A black girl witnesses the bloody horror of shooting her comrade to death, how many people can bear such a cruel scene... The narrative angle of the film starts from this terrifying scene, which brings trauma to the girl's heart. From family comfort to school discrimination, a black teenage girl is completely depersonalized and surviving in terror. This is a normal phenomenon. The psychological blow to the girl at the scene can only be comforted by her family. However, the media is reporting shooting scenes everywhere, always full of girls' eyes, nerve-like stimulation, and the footage flows quietly.

The subsequent development of the story comes from the spontaneous awareness and biochemistry of black girls, from voluntarily appearing on the camera as an eyewitness to the incident, to participating in the trial of the white police jury in the mountain court... But the law still leaves the police unscathed! In the large-scale demonstrations that caused public outrage, this girl stood at the forefront! However, there was no suspense in the demonstrations, which were suppressed by tear gas and arrests.

Black people must raise their hands when they meet the police at night

The film's exposure to racism is impressive, but the brilliance of humanity is also shining. In the black group, drug trafficking and violence are also rife in every corner of American society. The police who defend the law are the first to alert this group, especially the actions of black people in the dark. The police have magnified law enforcement. This point, the film also gave a considerable narrative.
