Rodney King

A quarter-century ago, the acquittal of four LAPD officers in a state court for the assault on King ignited three days of riots, resulting in 53 fatalities. In commemoration of this anniversary, a one-man show featuring Roger Guenver Smith and produced by Spike Lee will be available for streaming on Netflix. King, a multifaceted and somewhat tragic individual, tragically drowned in 2012. His tumultuous and complicated life story offers a poignant and thought-provoking viewing experience.
