Director: Ryan Coogler
Starring: Michael B. Jordan, Octavia Spencer, Melonie Diaz
Poignant and immensely powerful, Ryan Coogler’s award-winning sleeper hit sees Michael B. Jordan show why he truly is a talent to watch, with his portrayal of Oscar Grant III, the young man fatally shot by Bay Area transport police in the early hours of New Year’s Day 2009. An event that sparked much controversy and protest across the US, the film is also interspersed with actual amateur footage and camera phone shots of the shooting, documenting the final 24 hours of an imperfect young man, who had finally resolved to turn his life around and was robbed of the chance.
