Fruitvale station is an extremely sad movie about a real murder happened in 2009.

****Spoiler Alert*****

The movie start off with an actual video recorded by a mobile phone demonstrating police brutality case with 3 cops holding 4 guys against a wall in Fruitvale station, and the video end up with a shot fired and screen cuts black.

What follows is a story about a 22 year old guy, just got out of the jail and trying to get back to his life, saying that he would stop dealing drugs and he's going to be a loving father to his 4 year old daughter and to his mother.

The movie is 85 minutes with about 70 minutes that isn't interesting, basically capturing the last 24 hours before the event leading to fruitvale station.

The movie have a low budget production value and doesn't seem scripted, while that somehow makes it look very real and it's also make you engaged to the story.

After a guy identify him at the train, he call him off trying to pick a fight with him, so a brawl start at the train and as soon as the train pull off, they try (Oscar and his bodies) to escape the police station but the police was waiting for them.

So they detain them against a wall while people surrounding them holding their phones recording, suddenly a shot fired by an officer hitting Oscar in the back, he dies the next morning in the hospital due to massive internal bleeding.

**This part is just a script at the end of the movie**

The events afterward is extremely sad in which the officer who shot Oscar Pleaded not guilty and claimed that Oscar was resisting arrest and that he saw Oscar reaching his waist trying to pull something, while that was not clear in the video, the officer thought that he's pulling his tasor, turned out to be a real gun and shot Oscar on his back.

The Officer was accused of 1st degree murder and the court verdict was 2 years in prison, in which he end up spending 11 months only.
