In the trailer, we see several rare and archival footage showcasing the police brutality that is evident to treat people differently based on their race/color and other attributes.

Why Power is influential

This documentary offers to witness the power behind a tainted legacy where abuse is normalised if you belong to the other side with a racial identity differing to white race. It reflects how police power is the immediate power in today’s world but the racial differences and discrimination associated with colonizers, wealth and whiteness still exist.

For instance, slaves, indigenous and working-class people have experiences the impact of power the most because they fall into a specified category other than the priveileged one because their America is different from white people’s american.
