LA 92

In 1992, four LAPD officers are put on trial for beating young african-american Rodney King.

Despite video evidence, the officers are acquitted.

Sadly, this may not come as a surprise to viewers in 2018, but what followed was a level of unrest that has never been seen before, or since, in America’s modern history.

25 years on, 'LA92' uses newly released archival footage, as well as news excerpts and personal footage, to chronicle the city’s progressive descent into a chaos that cost a billion dollars in damages, killed 63 people and injured thousands more.

What follows is a gripping and unforgettable account rife with injustice and tragedy.
