Last Stop Fruitvale Station

About the movie

This drama re-enacts the true happenings the early hours of New Years Day 2009, when 22-year-old Oakland Bay Area resident Oscar Grant was shot in cold blood by a police officer at the Fruitvale BART station in an altercation that didn't call for it.
Director Ryan Coogler makes an extraordinary directorial debut with this soulful account of the real-life event that horrified the nation. Featuring radiant performances by Octavia Spencer (Oscar winner, The Help), Melonie Diaz and Michael B. Jordan as Grant, a young man whose eyes were an open window into his soul, Fruitvale offers a barometer reading on the state of humanity in American society today.
