Ryan Coogler : 2013
Oscar Grant was a 22-year-old San Francisco Bay Area resident who loved his friends, was generous to strangers, and had a hard time telling the truth to the mother of his beautiful daughter. He was scared and courageous and charming and raw, and as human as the community he was part of. That community paid attention to him, shouted on his behalf, and filmed him with their cellphones when transit police officers, who were strong, intimidated, and acting in the way they thought they were supposed to behave around people like Oscar, shot him in cold blood at the Fruitvale subway station on New Year's Day in 2009. As an account of the real-life event that horrified a nation, Ryan Coogler's extraordinary directorial debut offers pointers to the state of humanity in American society today. Winner of the Grand Jury Award and Audience Award at Sundance Film Festival 2013.
