A Love Song for Latasha

A very painful documentary, broken dreams, revolt, and widespread outrage at the disproportionate violence and latent injustice, Soon Ja Du, a 51-year-old Korean, did not serve a single day in prison, and that fact also contributes to the Uprising Los Angeles in 1992 and remembered in the Black Lives Matter, a simple production, however necessary, with only speeches and memories from friends and relatives...

Its very sad, and while the film style is unique and scattered its very beautifully told. Its beautiful her family and friends still carry on her legacy. I highly recommend, its a good reminder how little we value some people and how racism can cut someone's life short

The front runner for Best Documentary Short at the Academy Awards and deservedly so, I'm very happy the Oscars put this on my radar because A Love Song for Latasha is such a short and sweet tribute to a life taken too soon. Without being preachy or insensitive, it is simply a film that honors the layers the media neglects to share about Latasha Harlins. I was taught about her briefly in college but I'm so glad this Netflix doc colored in the lines in between what I knew. This is such a worthwhile watch because it manages to make a cinematic and beautiful short that is lush and emotionally moving. Well done.

This is a great documentary . It is well constructed,Brittany Hudson is superb and so likeable. A Love Song for Latasha 10/10

I ended up watching this because I am working my way through the Oscar nominations. I knew nothing about the subject matter. The 19 minutes pf this work are very lyrical-abstract animation is even used-and the underlying story is one of raw emotional power. The short fulfills its title as it is largely a remembrance about Latasha by her friends and family. No time is spent on the larger context-it is singularly about Latasha in herself. The film is admirable in that regard but I wish there was like a minute of larger context to bookend the core of the short. It feels like a very well done home movie.
