Virtual Event
Join us for a virtual screening of a film selected by artist Patrick Martinez for its relationship to the themes of Comunidades Visibles: The Materiality of Migration.
In Los Angeles in 1992, after a brief car chase, police pulled over unarmed Rodney King from his car and brutally beat him. The incident was captured by a photographer living nearby and his was released to the news media, unleashing an unparalleled series of marches, protests, and rioting. In news footage and photographs from that time, the critically acclaimed film LA 92, from Academy Award winners Dan Lindsay and TJ Martin, tells the story of King’s arrest, beating, and trial, and the subsequent events that shook the city of Los Angeles to its core.

En Los Ángeles en 1992, después de una breve persecución en automóvil, la policía detuvo a Rodney King, quien estaba desarmado, de su automóvil y lo golpeó brutalmente. El incidente fue capturado por un fotógrafo que vivía cerca y entrego las fotos a los medios de comunicación, desencadenando una serie sin precedentes de marchas, protestas y disturbios. En imágenes de noticias y fotografías de esa época, la película aclamada por la crítica LA 92, de los ganadores del Oscar Dan Lindsay y TJ Martin, cuenta la historia del arresto, golpiza y juicio de King, y los eventos posteriores que sacudieron a la ciudad de Los Ángeles a su núcleo.
