In this episode of Challenge Accepted, we review the critically acclaimed drama "Fruitvale Station." Directed by Ryan Coogler, the film tells the true story of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old black man who was fatally shot by a police officer on New Year's Day in 2009 at the Fruitvale BART station in Oakland, California.
We delve into the film's powerful portrayal of Oscar's life leading up to his tragic death, including his relationships with his family, friends, and girlfriend.
Oscar is played by Micheal B. Jordan, recent recipient of a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. His performance was masterful. Starting an extremely successful career.
Overall, we highly recommend "Fruitvale Station" for its powerful performances, poignant storytelling, and timely themes. It is a film that will stick with you long after the credits roll, and we believe it is an important piece of cinema that everyone should see.
