Based on the true story of the events that led to the death of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr, an elderly African American veteran with bipolar disorder, who was killed during a conflict with police officers who were dispatched to check on him.
""The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain" is a gripping and powerful drama that draws on the real-life events that led to the death of an elderly African American veteran with bipolar disorder. The film follows the conflict between Kenneth Chamberlain Sr. and police officers who were dispatched to check on him after his medical alert device was mistakenly activated. Despite Chamberlain informing the officers that there was a mistake and he did not have an emergency, they taunted him, ridiculed his military service, and hurled racial epithets at him. The film is a scathing rebuke to a systemic failure, and Frankie Faison's remarkable performance is a highlight. David Midell's direction is sensitive and nuanced, and the film's pacing is perfect. The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain is a must-see for anyone interested in social justice and police reform. Overall, the film is a powerful reminder of the importance of empathy, compassion, and understanding in our society."
