Uprising: Hip Hop & the LA Riots plot

Twenty years after the Rodney King riots rocked all of Los Angeles, director Ford shows hip-hop's role in predicting and fueling these violent race riots. The film opens with footage of Rodney King himself. For the first time in years, he visits the spot where he was beaten up by four white police officers, who were later acquitted of assault. This statement turned out to be the start of the historic riots.
