No matter how you try to package it, racism is racism, brutality is brutality. Reinaldo Marcus Green’s Monsters And Men explores the aftermath of a police killing of a Black man. The whole event was also recorded by a bystander who records everything, we see the incident from his account.
The film had its world premiere away back nearly a year ago at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, winning the festival’s special jury prize. Sadly the subject matter of the film is happening too often in the U.S as well as around the world. It should provoke debate most of the awareness for people to take action for change!
Altitude Films has sent us the film’s UK Trailer and Poster, check them both out…
MONSTERS AND MEN tells a ripple-effect narrative: from an eye-witness (Ramos) who captures a shooting on his phone, an African-American police officer (Washington) battling with his conscience to stand up against his fellow officers, to a local high school student (Harrison Jr) who transforms from passive bystander to vehement activist. With fluid cinematography that’s alert and expressive, the film explores the ramifications of such an event in a terrifying and poetic way.
Shot in Brooklyn, NY, Monsters And Men features John David Washington (BlacKkKlansman, Ballers), up-and-coming actor Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Mudbound, It Comes At Night, The Wolf Hour) and star of Broadway’s Hamilton Anthony Ramos.
Monsters And Men will be released in the UK and Irish cinemas (and Digital)from 18th January 2019.
