RIOTSVILLE, U.S.A.
United States | 2022 | Sierra Pettengill
“Riotsvilles” were model towns built by the U.S. military during the late 1960s where law enforcement officers could train for controlling the civil unrest of that explosive era. Consisting entirely of period newsreels and other archival footage, this eye-opening new essay film explores how government officials obsessed with “law and order” opted to militarize the police rather than redress the income inequality, institutional racism, and international policies that provoked the riots. “Mesmerizing…Tracks American anti-Black racism through a wealth of disturbing, at times super-freaky 1960s archival footage.” –NY Times. Cleveland premiere. DCP. 91 min.
