Hats off to Nick Broomfield

bhudson-3

This documentary is about Lonnie Franklin who killed 10 women over the course of 25 years in South Central LA.

The documentary served as an attack on the LAPD's inability to do the right thing, to investigate and release warnings to the public.

It is also a testament to Nick Broomfield's persistence, as an outsider sporting a big microphone and a funny accent he was able to wear down and break communication barriers, witnessed by the evolving stories of those interviewed. Once inside a subculture within the gnarly South Central LA district, he reveals a full spectrum voices that speak the message of outrage from victim's loved ones and their supporters, to witnesses of sexual deviancy in the form of Franklin's friends.
