Traffic Stop

... an upsetting yet faintly hopeful documentary...

This feels like the opening act of a feature-length film that would provide greater context, and more closure.

The contrast is very effective. Breaion King's real-life moments show her humanity opposite the cops treating her like she has none.

[Kate] Davis avoids making a shallow diatribe from its volatile subject.

Traffic Stop's strength, as with all great docs, lies in its capacity to instill empathy in the viewer, placing them in the middle of a situation they'd likely have little occasion to experience in their lives.

[Kate] Davis has created a deeply moving portrait of a woman whose life is turned upside down by callous police brutality and racism.
