DESCRIPTION:Description: This interrogation of a day in the life of Oakland, 
 California, is focused on March 21, 2009, when a shoot-out between a young 
 man named Lovelle Mixon and members of the Oakland Police Department 
 resulted in the death of Mixon himself and four Oakland police officers. 
 Closely following the day’s events, this documentary examination of the 
 encounter’s underlying contradictions challenges the mainstream narrative 
 of the confrontation and in so doing, it sheds new light on the nature and 
 reproduction of racism in the contemporary United States.\n\nTo date, the 
 dominant narrative of the shoot-out, propagated by the Oakland Police 
 Department, state officials and the media, has been that Lovelle Mixon was 
 a monster and a rapist and the slain officers were angels and heroes. This 
 perspective, viewed through a liberal lens and reliant on misleading 
 labels, pretends the shoot-out occurred in a vacuum devoid of history and 
 sociopolitical factors; producing an illusion that has re-enforced the 
 status quo, suppressed critical thought, and ultimately, attempts to 
 delegitimize the Black experience in America by rejecting the validity of 
 the systemic factors at its root.\n\n\nAdditional Screenings: \n\nMARCH 20,
