,” wants viewers to know these names: Dave Whitt. Ramsey Orta. Kevin Moore. Not because these men of color have been lost to police violence but because they documented it.
Is “Copwatch” more compelling than watching the events that have continued to unfold on America’s broad avenues and small-town main streets daily? Not even close. But “Copwatch” reminds viewers that there were large protests after the killings of Gray, Brown and Garner. Garner’s lament “I can’t breathe,” too, became a chant heard in gatherings from New York City to Atlanta to Paris.
After introducing Crawford, the We Copwatch organizer stays on the margins of the movie for the most part — raising funds, buying equipment and training his crew in First Amendment rights. “Copwatch” is really about Whitt, Moore and Orta. While each has experienced repercussions that it would be hard not to associate with their video work, collectively they make a varied — and sympathetic — band of brothers.
Moore, a circumspect and appealing figure digs deepest into understanding the responsibility his amateur video thrust upon him. His anger at Baltimore’s chief prosecutor Marilyn Mosby for not being able to win convictions of the cops she indicted for Gray’s death is pointed.
