Summary:
This documentary highlights the life and death of Arthur L. McDuffie, who was chased by police officers on December 17, 1979, after he failed to stop for a traffic light. After realizing he could not escape, McDuffie surrendered. He was beaten by multiple police officers until he lost consciousness, eventually dying as a result. Acquittal of the offending officers charged in the murder sparked a civil disturbance in Miami's urban core. The McDuffie riots ultimately changed Miami-Dade County and became a symbol of the city's struggle to content with race relations and its sordid history during the Jim Crow era. -- Adapted from container.
