Film Description:
Sixty years after the 1965 Watts uprising, the neighborhood America wrote off has shown us what is still possible.
After a late-night police ride-along in Watts, an outsider witnesses a version of Watts that never makes the news.
Searching for a way to understand what he had seen, he poses a simple question: what would happen if the people living the story told it themselves?
Twenty residentsβrival gang members, police officers, students, parents, and victims of violenceβare given iPhones and full control over their narratives.
