Interesting case but the documentary is too manipulative to be accepted as impartial.

While at a gas station with friends in Jacksonville Florida, he was shot dead by a middle aged white male who took offence to the loud Rap music the kids were playing in their car.

What is less well known is the truth.

Did Jordan verbally threaten to kill the man? Did he brandish a weapon of his own? Did he then leave his car in order to kill him?

Vitally, was the shooting an act of self defence?

These are the questions explored by Marc Silver's excellent documentary.

Never heavy handed, the film tells the story of the aftermath of Jordan's death and its affect on the family as they embark on a 2 year journey to find justice for their lost son.

But far more than a personal family story, the film lifts the lid on America's trigger finger, the bubbling undercurrent of racial hate and the absurd 'stand your ground' law that essentially protects gun totting yahoos like Michael Dunn (Jordan's killer), from paying for their hate crimes.

I was lucky enough to be at a special screening, where both Marc and Jordan's father, Ron Davis spoke about the making of the film.

Ron is an amazing man. While certainly distraught following the loss of his son, he has also been galvanised into action. He is on a mission to amend the 'stand your ground' law and ensure that no more families have to suffer the tragedy that has befallen his.

Eloquent and self assured, the events of Black Friday have transformed him into a powerful activist who I am sure will achieve his goals.

Go watch this film for the excellent story telling. Go see it for the beautiful cinematography. Go see it for the raw emotion and performances - none of the scenes have been set up for our entertainment. We see every player in this tragic drama as they really are.

But most of all just go see it because Ron Davis, Jordan's Mother, Lucia and all the other families affected by this terrible law need and deserve your understanding and support.… Expand
