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.

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.
