The rioting after the Rodney King decision in 1992 is the centerpiece for this documentary, but the detailed history that the film-makers have researched is what makes this film very interesting and informative.
This film is the first I've seen that probes the roots of the riots from the '60s, the formation of the Black Panther Party (and its subsequent infiltration by the FBI) to the violence of the Bloods and Crips.
Interviewing several people from all walks of life is the core of this documentary. Plus, it gives quite intriguing (and believable) analysis of why we can't all "just get along" -- because the powers-that-be don't want working people to unite.
A very worthwhile flick.
My rating: 8
