    Watch this - Consider it a public service.

    "depending on who you are, the sight of an officer can produce either a warm sense of safety and contentment or a plummeting feeling of terror"

    Watch this movie and read that again.

    Based on just one true story and over a decade after the events took place, this film is still painfully relevant. You'll likely spend the credits sitting in silence - recovering and trying to process what you just witnessed. All poor reviews so far seem to have missed the point and/or thought it was fiction.

    No matter where you live in this world, but especially if you are white (yes Australia, us too), please, watch this film. Check your privilege and let your perspective change with it.

    Good, but...

    The duration of the film is 83 minutes and the narration gets straight to the point. And it success to made the audience emotional throughout the film. But I think there should be additional narrative about the development characters here. I'm just tired of bad cops and their victims. It's already hard to watch people hurt because bad cops in real life.

    But seriously, if you didn't know the story, you should watch it.

    Heartbreaking

    The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain powerfully illustrates the tragic consequences of police brutality and racial injustice. Through a poignant portrayal of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr.'s wrongful death at the hands of law enforcement, the film highlights systemic issues and the devastating impact on his family and community. It's a heartbreaking reminder of the urgent need for police accountability and justice reform. Such movies are a good reminder of why do education matters the most in these days. This movie has been directed, and acted in an amazing way but at the same time, anyone watching this movie would feel the pain and helplessness of a disable/emotionally vulnerable person. A must watch but I would not recommend this for a faint hearted person.

    A Must Watch

    As A white man watching this I was enraged, I can only imagine what it's like for black people to watch.

    It's filmed really well and you get a real sense of what went on on that horrible morning.

    Looking at the reviews on here you can see some very racist views.

    The coroner ruled that he was killed while on the ground and not while running around brandishing a knife.

    The acting is excellent by the whole cast.

    I encourage everyone to watch this movie.

    Not a cinematic tour de force.

    Fine acting by all involved. The film encompassed many genres: dramatic, educational and documentary. A must see for emergency 1st responders and should be discussed in an open forum.

    This tragedy could have been avoided with proper training and egos kept in check.

    • Trivia
      Unusually, the lead actor Frankie Faison is exactly the same age he is playing for Mr Chamberlain. The sense of realism he is therefore able to bring to the role for how an elder citizen with mental problems might react is both compelling and entirely believable. A truly shocking story.
