THE KILLING OF KENNETH CHAMBERLAIN tells the true story of the final hours of the life of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr., an elderly African American veteran with bipolar disorder, who was killed during a conflict with police officers who were sent to his home to check on him.

At 5:22 AM on November 19, 2011, Chamberlain’s medical alert device was mistakenly activated; police arrived shortly thereafter. Despite Kenneth informing the officers there was a mistake and he did not have an emergency, they were recorded taunting Kenneth, ridiculing his military service, howling racial epithets at him, and finally, the officers broke his door down and shot him to death.

THE KILLING OF KENNETH CHAMBERLAIN speaks powerfully to our current national conversation about police brutality, institutional racism, and how we treat our most vulnerable citizens.
