Cops and Robbers plot

Well, a fairly one-sided, unsubtle short about racist police violence in the US. Very nicely made with various animation styles. Hip, trendy and flashy tailor-made for a quick view. Smells a bit like propaganda and it polarizes. The film is not very conciliatory and I do not have the impression that it is purely informative. Of course, this does not alter the fact that very bad things do happen regularly within the police apparatus. But this video won't solve the problem, rather it will fuel it...

Technically and visually top, I still have my reservations about the content. It's also a shame that the credits last longer than the video itself.

I like slam poetry when it's done well. And not that Cops and Robbers invents anything new, but the combination of slam poetry with animation is a first for me. A variety of images to further support the words of the poem. The basis is the poem, which is an indictment of police brutality and discrimination against black Americans, but it mainly expresses the feelings towards it. The hatred, the fear, the frustration, the powerlessness, ... The animation itself lasts just over 4 minutes and is convincing from start to finish.

I want to go back to....

Then a form of nostalgia for spontaneous, innocent activities takes over, followed by a link to contemporary injustices.

Well thought out, but still a bit intense and confusing. Could have been presented more calmly, perhaps with more success, I thought.
