Monsters and Men

“One moment can change everything”

Manny Ortega (Anthony Ramos), a Brooklyn street hustler, films an act of police violence on his cellphone. The footage reaches a local officer, Dennis Williams (John David Washington), and a high-school baseball star, Zyrick (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), and Reinaldo Marcus Green follows each of them in turn. Their lives never quite touch, yet the one recording sits between them, a shared weight each of them carries alone.
