LA 92

Tue, Nov 7, 2023
    Part of
  • BAM Film 2023
  • and
  • Let The Record Show: Archived Cinema
Directed by Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Martin

Twenty-five years after the verdict in the Rodney King trial sparked six days of protests, violence, and looting in Los Angeles, LA 92 immerses viewers in that tumultuous period. Through rarely seen archival footage and new images, Academy Award-winning directors Daniel Lindsay and T.J. Martin (Undefeated) capture the fury and pain in the face of police brutality that shook the world, offering a searing record that reminds us how much—and how little—has changed.
