Could have been better if it was shorter

Rating: 6/10 (16 September 2017)

Instead of starting the story at the point where the 'dramatics' are itching to get on stage and being disappointed which is where the film should have started, they start it dragging and screaming with boring exposition. Most of the world knows about US race riots and the historical tension around civil rights so we don't need a history lesson.
Then the spiel at the end admits the film is based on participant recollection, as what happened wasn't conclusively proved. I think that was it's downfall.
Could have been a much better film if it was 2hrs or less but it dragged.
