I Can't Breathe (2024)

(Winner Best Feature Documentary London City Film Festival) When 17yr old Darnell Frazier captures cell phone footage of officer Derek Chauvin, who is white, with his knee on Floyd's neck, pinning him to the ground. Floyd, handcuffed and subdued, can be heard pleading with Chauvin to remove his knee. Over four minutes, Floyd repeatedly cries out "I can't breathe," until he becomes unresponsive. Three other officers stand by, ignoring the requests of bystanders to check on Floyd's breathing. And for several minutes after Floyd appears to stop breathing, Chauvin keeps his knee on his neck, until paramedics arrive to carry his body into an ambulance. The documentary covers the unrest that follows as the country becomes lost in turmoil.
