Does it matter that the assertions in this documentary have been debunked?

Does it matter to any of the reviewers here that the claims made in this documentary have been debunked?Fact: The darker ones complexation is the LESS likely that there is usable video or photos for investigators or prosecutors.The makers of this film claim the opposite is the case, they claim there is a bias against persons with darker complexions -- when in fact that is not at all what the peer reviewed research shows.

informative

I've heard a lot about the various algorithmic failures around race. This is a good overview of the discussion that talks about some things I haven't seen before. When you see it put all together in one place it's pretty shocking.At the same time, purely as a documentary this is kind of weak. It's sometimes a little muddled, and it sometimes stretches a point a bit too far. Some of the things it tries to fold into the narrative are less examples of technological racism and more examples of actual criminal behavior. There's a difference between slippery tech and actions that resulted in people going to jail.Still, it's a compelling film.
