Frankie Faison talks to Blackfilmandtv.com's Wilson Morales about The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain.
The 80-minute socially conscious drama thriller, written and directed by David Midell, was shot in real-time and tells the true story of the final hours of the life of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr. (Frankie Faison), an elderly African American veteran with bipolar disorder, who was killed in 2011, during a conflict with police officers who were sent to his home to check on him, when his medical alert device was mistakenly activated. Despite Chamberlain informing the officers there was a mistake and he did not have an emergency, they were recorded taunting him, ridiculing his military service, howling racial epithets at him, and finally, the officers broke his door down and shot him twice in the chest, and no charges were brought against the police in a 2012 jury trial.
