Film Independent Presents SHOWTIME® Screening Series: 16 Shots

Includes a conversation with writer/director Richard Rowley

Film Independent Presents the SHOWTIME® Screening Series

16 Shots examines the 2014 shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke and the cover-up that ensued. After the police initially declared the shooting as justified, journalists and activists fought for footage of the event to be released, sending the Chicago Police Department and local Chicago government officials into upheaval as the community demanded justice. Director Richard Rowley’s film dissects the cover-up through first-hand witness accounts which led to the unprecedented conviction that fractured the political landscape of Chicago.

2019, 95 minutes, color, DCP | Written by Richard Rowley; Directed by Richard Rowley
