YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDemocracyNow.org - It was four years ago this month that Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old African American, was shot to death by a Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer on New Year's Day in Oakland, Calif. Portraying the last day of his life, the new dramatic film "Fruitvale" has become one of the most talked-about films at this year's Sundance Film Festival. We're joined by the director, 26-year-old, first-time filmmaker Ryan Coogler, who works as a social worker at a juvenile-detention center in San Francisco.
