Traffic Stop (2017)
Interesting but biased
21 February 2018
I was excited to watch this but within the first 10 minutes could already distinguish this was not a true documentary, rather a political view and biased storytelling. Using the old trick of emotional attachment was way too obvious.. Breaion's own recounts and commentary of her own life became a 30 minute boasting party of "look how great and wonderful I am". All relatablity to her as a person went out the window with her arrogance. I left feeling... not pity towards her, not anger toward Law Enforcement like she wanted but rather a greater disconnect to her life and story than before. It's a documentary and for that I found watching the footage from the incident the most interesting thing about the film. However, I was highly disappointed in the lack of unbiased storytelling and would have appreciated Breaion taking ownership and accountability for at least one of her actions..I wanted to and would have related more to a person who can show me they aren't perfect yet are still good. When someone claims and attempts to show their life as all good and they do no wrong, it's unrelatable. Sad to give this such a low rating!
