After Dontre Hamilton, a black, unarmed man diagnosed with schizophrenia, was shot 14 times and killed by police in Milwaukee, his family embarks on a quest for answers, justice, and reform. Filmed over the course of three years as the investigation unfolds, this intimate verité documentary offers a painfully realistic glimpse inside a movement born out of tragedy.
