Is New Feature Film Campaigning for a George Zimmerman Guilty Verdict?
As attorneys make final arguments in the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin battle over racial profiling and lethal force, the subject matter of a new major motion picture—as well as the timing of its release—is drawing attention.


Based on a true story, “Fruitvale Station” deals with the last day in the life of Oscar Grant, 22, who was fatally shot by a guard after an altercation on a BART train in Oakland, Calif., on New Year’s Day, 2009, The Wrap reports.

The film hits theaters this Friday, July 12—tellingly close to the when the trial of Zimmerman, the neighborhood watchman charged with murdering Martin, is expected to conclude.

The Oscar Grant Foundation, established after his death, “has sent a representative to the Zimmerman trial and spoken out about the trial in public and on its Facebook page,” The Wrap notes.

There’s no shortage of commentary from the film’s director, Ryan Coogler, who’s said that the Trayvon Martin case is playing out while this film hits theaters underscores the need for more stories like this.

People who look like Oscar, who look like Trayvon, are dying every day on the streets of our country – not only being shot by a police officer or not only being shot by somebody using vigilante tactics, but oftentimes being shot by someone that looks just like them,” he said. “These lives matter, and we shouldn’t just stand by while this is happening.”
