"This original Netflix documentary, which passed through the Berlin and Sundance Festivals, uses the tragedy of the director's brother, killed by white police officers, in a sad account of prejudice in the US. A young life lost, and even more suffering brought upon the deceased by the police officers investigating their own killing. A hard, sad, and, unfortunately, still necessary film."
