Synopsis
A fragmented portrait of a young boy called Crimson. When he and his best friend Imani make their way to a corner store, David, a rookie police officer gets a call regarding a possibly dangerous altercation that the two youngsters might be involved in, he rushes to the store and enters the site with his gun already drawn. They now find themselves in a situation seen play out countless times. The film becomes an exploration of how stories surrounding police brutality get told, what points get conveniently forgotten, and how those who don’t make it out alive get remembered.
