5) Fruitvale Station (2013) – Ryan Coogler
Trending
Ryan Coogler's Fruitvale Station is a heart-wrenching documentary of the last day of the life of Oscar Grant III, a young Black man killed by policemen. Featuring Michael B. Jordan in a strong performance, the film is both tragically and humanly an account of its subject. Both Sundance and Cannes top prizes garnered by Coogler were his directorial debut into the world, and those conversations about racial injustice went viral. The film was the springboard for Coogler's career, which later catapulted him to blockbuster success with films like Black Panther.
