2017 52 min ⭐ 5.1 Drama Crime

Viewers interested in modern Drama, Crime cinema often explore Rodney King because of its cast, story direction, and audience popularity.

25 years ago, four LAPD officers were acquitted in a state court for beating King, sparking three days of rioting that left 53 people dead. Now, around the anniversary, this Spike Lee-produced one-man show (Roger Guenver Smith) will be streaming on Netflix. A complex, semi-tragic figure, King drowned in 2012. His life was rarely smooth, or simple – its telling makes for a sober, moving watch.
