Do Not Resist

About This Movie

Do Not Resist dives deep into the unsettling world of police militarization in the U.S. It's got this raw, almost documentary-style grit that sets a heavy tone right from the get-go. The footage from Ferguson is striking, really capturing the chaos and tension of those moments. What makes it distinctive is how it doesn't just stick to one location; it weaves in scenes from various protests and police actions nationwide, painting a broader picture. The pacing feels intentional—slow at times to let the weight of the visuals sink in, and then it ramps up when needed. There's no flashy editing or effects here; it's all about the stark reality they present. It’s a sobering watch that leaves you reflecting on the themes long after.
