    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.

    Reckless policing

    This was a very difficult film to watch, there's no question that there are police all over America that are overzealous, that are drunk with power, who do not use common sense, and who escalate situations for very marginal reasons, oftentimes resulting in fatal encounters that simply did not have to happen, had they exercised more caution, better judgment and been more reasonable.

    In my mind there is no question about the fact that police officers need more vigorous training on how to de-escalate situations and this movie presents a very good example of highly ignorant men flexing their muscles and doing something incredibly stupid and killing someone in the process.

    This in no way takes away from the vast majority of law enforcement officers who are good cops, who put their lives on the line doing a very dangerous job, and are reasonable and judicious in their decisions.

    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.

    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.

    THE MURDER OF KENNETH CHAMBERLAIN

    How was this film not promoted by Hollywood, the media & the whole entertainment industry?!

    I came across it scrolling through Amazon Prime so found it by chance, which i find to be a ridiculous way to find a film as well made & educating.

    I say educating as it teaches the viewers how corrupt the American policing & justice systems are. They sent in an armed tactical force to "welfare check", a 70 year old Bio-polar Veteran with a heart condition, not opening his door! The frightened him. Tried to bully him then shot him but were not charged with any crime & kept their job!

    Well done to all involved in the making of the heartbreaking, hatd to watch film.

    7/10.

    • 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.
