Ratings and reviews

So, it's a documentary perpetuating the lie about who the real victims are in this entire incident, and it is NOT Michael Brown. And Rotten Tomatoes critics don't care about the truth either, they're too dumb, or too afraid to criticize this for what it is. This is not a documentary, but a work of fiction very loosely based on true events.

What killed Brown was inner city black culture combined with having to police that culture. I have lived among those people. I know how they think. How they behave. Why they do. And they don't need to.

Balanced analysis, with emphasis on the most important aspect of the case: the TRUTH. Shelby Steele and (his son?) Eli Steele have done a great service with this film, calmly addressing an emotional issue with analysis based on facts. As a former 1960s leftist radical, Steele is uniquely qualified to shed light on the issues that not only led to this tragedy, but also to why it has been so mischaracterized in the press and in schools.
