    5.0 out of 5 stars Definately worth it
    Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2024

    By far the best documentary of the events and collection of material I've ever seen.

    This video shows it exactly how it happened. What they were not able to cover though was the machine gun fire going on that was aimed at the fire trucks, ambulances, and police cars which we could all hear which was covered on the live news as it happened (on Day 2).

    5 stars all the way.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fairly Balanced Documentary
    Reviewed in the United States on April 28, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    This documentary is about as even-handed as possible. I've viewed it around four times and see something additionally valuable in it every time. It presents the various perspectives well, and of course, takes ample time to highlight the rage of the low-income black community in Los Angeles. Amazing that the latest spree of violence was in 2020 and for basically the same perceived transgressions. Activists have succeeded in portraying blacks as victims. It is routine to hear "We've been here for 400 years and we never get anything except our a**es kicked." The obliviousness is stunning. Not sure black cops, black prosecutors, and black judges share in the victim mentality. Rodney King, truly an unfortunate victim of the dangers of police work, was a criminal, a felon, and recently released from prison in March 1991. Not having learned his lesson, he failed to pull over when instructed to, and failed to follow the commands of a law enforcement officer, this while under the influence of an illegal substance. At the time, he wasn't returning home from teaching Bible study and getting ready for bed so he could be at work the next day in a career that he was dedicated to. The fake racism continues.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The Cycle of Injustice
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    One of the most powerful documentaries to be made, “LA 92” shows through strictly archival footage (no new interviews or commentary, just archival from the time of the riots) and a wonderful, haunting music score the timeline of how the Los Angeles riots of 1992 started and how they unfolded. It starts with a quick prelude of the August 1965 L.A. riots, the 1973 election of Tom Bradley as L.A. mayor, and the 1978 promotion of Daryl Gates as L.A. chief of police. The movie then opens with the end of Operation Desert Storm in March 1991, going on to document the police brutality beating of Rodney King and the tragic, unjustified shooting death of Latasha Harlins -- as well as showcasing the complete events that transpired between the acquittal of the 4 LAPD officers in the King beating and the end of the riots (April 29 to May 4, 1992), making the riots the most destructive civil disturbance in the history of America, with 63 people killed, 2,383 people injured, more than 11,000 arrested, and estimates of material losses varying between about $800 million and $1 billion, and approximately 3,600 fires set, destroying 1,100 buildings. What's most electrifying and hypnotic about “LA 92” is the raw emotion expressed from all sides as well as the bookends of the film, which show that, when it comes to race relations, things today have sadly not changed as much as they should since 1965.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Cohesive Piece
    Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2017

    LA '92 is an interesting story of a truly screwed up time in "recent" (I use that in quote because obviously many readers would find it FAR from recent) history. This was the era of Rodney King and Smash & Trash/Loot-a-thon '92.

    Nat Geo does a fine job of putting together a cohesive piece on this horrible episode of American history. Here's proof where the few give the many a bad name by virtue of actions of some being blamed on all. That goes both directions on the color wheel: the police and the looters/rioters.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to watch
    Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    It is terribly distressing to see the worst humanity can throw at itself. From the injustice of those officers walking scot-free to the injustice of a group of anarchists causing complete chaos - it is tough to watch. I hurt with the black community while watching this. The feeling of hopelessness that justice would never be served to black people was almost tangible. This documentary gave me a view of this tragedy I never knew. I hope history can teach us all to seek justice in all situations, at all times, for all people. There is no black or white. There are only human beings. Love your neighbors, ALL your neighbors, as you love yourself. If we all did this, day in and day out, this world would be a much better place, and hopefully, we will never see a tragedy like this again

    5.0 out of 5 stars In-depth documentary covering the 1992 LA Riots
    Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2019
    Verified Purchase
    This documentary gets into the grit of the causes of the 1992 LA Riots. While the Rodney King altercation was the catalyst for the riots, other events such as interracial strife, income inequality and a 'tough on crime' outlook that seemed to target certain groups disproportionally all added to the fuel that fanned the riots.

    This documentary is graphic, and it may not be suitable to show to young children. However, this is one of the most detailed recollections of what happened and is something that can be studied to see how Los Angeles has changed (or not) on the issues that contributed to LA 92.

    One of the best documentaries I have ever seen, on par with Made In America and as good (though very different) than anything by Ken Burns. This thing is the Citizen Kane of documentaries.
