One of the most important movies about this life in Kansas City is soon to premiere.
Check out:
KANSAS CITY MURDER FACTORY
The movie's director Mike B. Rollen produced "a documentary film that explores the murder epidemic in the urban core of Kansas City, Missouri.
Kansas City Murder Factory is an unscripted experimental documentary told from the perspective of the victim. In the film both observational and traditional forms of filmmaking collide to expose Kansas City’s most taboo topic: Murder."
The trailer for the movie seems a lot more inspirational than the silly Star series by the same name from a while back.
The movie attempts to depict "the many hurdles and struggles of the victim’s families as they fight to get justice from a system, which manufactures injustice.
The film also presents the many challenges of organizations and individuals trying to decrease violent crime in Kansas City, includes compelling commentaries from Kansas City’s top spoken word artists."
It's definitely worth checking out at The Kansas International Film Festival where it premieres Oct. 4th, 2010 7:45 PM - Glenwood Theater 9575 Metcalf Avenue Overland Park, KS
