 Ferguson. Baltimore. Sanford. The Los Angeles riots may have taken place 
 a quarter century ago but the nation continues to find itself in a cycle 
 of heated discussion over racial oppression, police brutality and 
 socioeconomic inequality.
 
 
 Now, after 25 years, National Geographic Documentary Films presents LA 
 92, a riveting look back at the controversial Rodney King trial and 
 subsequent protests, violence and looting of the city. Viewed from a 
 multitude of vantage points through visceral and rarely seen archival 
 footage, the film brings a fresh perspective to a pivotal moment that 
 reverberates to this day. Produced by Lightbox's two-time Academy Award 
 winner Simon Chinn ("Man on Wire") and Emmy winner Jonathan Chinn 
 ("American High") with Academy Award-winning directors Dan Lindsay and 
 TJ Martin ("Undefeated"), and featuring original music from Danny Bensi 
 and Saunder Jurriaans ("OA," "Enemy"), LA 92 premieres at the 
 2017 Tribeca Film Festival on Friday, April 21.
 
 
 "Race relations is America's Achilles' heel," said Lightbox producers 
 Jonathan Chinn and Simon Chinn. "The production of this film might mark 
 the 25th anniversary of this seminal uprising, but these kinds of events 
 still recur, and we are still dealing with their root causes. Our goal 
 with LA 92 is to reframe the story of this tragedy for a modern 
 audience, and we hope it will encourage reflection and 
 debate as we wrestle with these very real conflicts that continue to 
 plague America's cities."
 
 
 Following the premiere at Tribeca, the film will complete a multicity 
 screening tour including Baltimore; Charlotte; St. Louis; Washington, 
 D.C.; and Atlanta. Additionally, a limited theatrical release in New 
 York and Los Angeles begins Friday, April 28, and LA 92 makes its 
 television broadcast debut on National Geographic on Sunday, April 30, 
 at 9/8c and will also air globally in 171 countries and 45 languages. Furthering 
 the national conversation, National Geographic has also partnered with 
 Picture Motion to provide free screenings of the film to colleges and 
 universities nationwide and has developed a robust free discussion guide 
 to accompany the film.

 Using no narration or talking head interviews, the filmmakers decided to 
 take a bold approach: to reconstruct the tumultuous events that unfolded 
 in 1992 by exclusively using archival footage and photographs. Culling 
 thousands of hours of visceral broadcast news footage, radio reports, 
 police files and personal home videos — some of which have never been 
 broadcast — the filmmakers tell the story through a variety of different 
 points of view and perspectives and set it all to a rich orchestral 
 score composed by Danny Bensi and Saunder Jurriaans.
 
 
 "We come from a cinema verite background and as such, we are always 
 striving to find ways to let the footage speak for itself," said Martin 
 and Lindsay, who also edited the film. "Our intent was to fully immerse 
 viewers in a raw and unfiltered experience in order to challenge their 
 understanding of the civil unrest, both emotionally and intellectually."
 
 
 The filmmakers sourced an intricate network of citizen journalists with 
 boots on the ground during the civil disturbance to bring authenticity 
 to the film. The film features never-before-seen and rarely used footage 
 from the Los Angeles First AME Church, which supported many victims of 
 the violence; materials from the Los Angeles police and fire 
 departments; and video from contemporaneous news broadcasts from 
 LA-based Korean-language television stations. LA 92 takes viewers 
 out of the prism of their own cultural, racial and political 
 perspectives and allows them to see the events of 1992 in a new light.
 
 
 The film captures the shock, disappointment and fury felt by many 
 Angelenos, particularly those in the African-American community, 
 following the outcomes of two back-to-back, highly publicized trials. In 
 November 1991, a Korean convenience store owner who was convicted of 
 fatally shooting African-American teenager Latasha Harlins was given no 
 jail time by a white Los Angeles judge. Six months later, four police 
 officers caught on videotape brutally beating unarmed black motorist 
 Rodney King were acquitted of assault by a predominantly white Simi 
 Valley jury.
 
 
 The King verdict sparked a wave of violent protests, looting and arson 
 that lasted several days and left more than 50 people dead, thousands 
 injured and large swaths of Los Angeles — including many 
 Korean-American-owned businesses — in ruins. In the case of the King 
 beating, it was the first time the kind of abuse many had witnessed or 
 experienced at the hands of LAPD officers was recorded and broadcast for 
 the world to see, leaving some with the sense that if justice did not 
 prevail despite such graphic evidence, it never would.
