The broad-spectrum approach of LA 92 resists easy answers while still holding a strong editorial viewpoint about the overlapping institutional defects that led to the riots.

Thanks in part to excellent editing and a subtly gripping score by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans, LA 92 never lags during its nearly two-hour running time.

The superb editing of news footage, the home video recording of the King beating and a dizzying amount of imagery from the heart of darkness during the riots throws us into the unfolding disturbances with minute-by-minute immediacy.

This is a valuable companion piece to other accounts and a vivid collage of in-the-moment imagery.

LA 92’s reliance on news and eyewitness footage leaves it vulnerable to the same limitations as that footage – namely the prioritising of sensationalism over insight.

This is a must see because of the relevance and parallels to our current environment of social injustice. Riveting to watch. What a devastating reminder of the outright as well as collateral damage that continues to exist when systematic racism continues unfettered. The unbearable chain of events and the highly unsatisfactory outcome leaves one as unsatisfied as in actual life with the entire situation. Great that they also included different perspectives, leaving much to consider.
