Fruitvale Station from 2013 was a prescient film and deserves a look with its topical themes that resonate today with the current protests. It's also a true story. Featuring newcomer Michael B Jordan and directed by newbie Ryan Coogler, it also starred Octavia Spencer. Jordan has gone on to stardom and Coogler become an A list director with Black Panther. This film is a classic example of timing being key. A critical and financial success, it would likely have had even greater success had it been released in subsequent years.
