- Summary:
- In 1992, video footage of Rodney King, a black man, being beaten by white policemen, incited rioting and looting in urban Los Angeles. Most people associate these riots with African-American neighborhoods. This documentary combines interviews and first-person narratives around the conflict in the neighborhood known as Koreatown, where residents experienced targeted violence and where business owners suffered more than 400 million dollars in losses, but found little justice.
