Filmed in cities across the country, this dynamic documentary explores why so many unarmed black people have been targeted and killed by law enforcement officers, an issue that has taken center stage in the national consciousness. The filmmakers talk to legal experts, activists and law enforcement officials who speak to the inequality within our criminal justice system. The film asks the crucial question of how to prevent more violence in this country, including Black on Black deaths. Activists, law enforcement officials, legal scholars, and the family members of victims offer a range of responses. At its heart, WHEN JUSTICE ISN'T JUST confronts our broken criminal justice system, focusing on the incarceration rate of people of color. As the Black Lives Matter movement - and citizens nationwide - question the accountability of our justice system in cases of police violence, WHEN JUSTICE ISN'T JUST is an essential addition to the ongoing discussion about reform and renewal.
