Twenty years after the City of Angels was turned on its head, director Mark Ford shows how important hip hop was in predicting and fanning these violent race riots. For the first time in many years, Rodney King visits the spot where he was beaten by four white policemen, whose acquittal would light the fuse for the historic event. King tells his story without sentiment, and police officers, journalists, victims, rioters and rappers such as Ice T and Nas all express their thoughts on the historic events of 1992. Thanks in part to the extensive use of carefully chosen archive footage, Ford makes it clear why so many people in LA chose to rise up against inequality and police brutality, even if this meant using violence themselves- violence that also took many innocent bystanders.
