A young Black man in New York City is stopped by NYPD officers, and he is secretly recording audio the entire time. Journalist Ross Tuttle built this short film around that tape, obtained for a Nation magazine investigation into the department's stop-and-frisk policy. The recording captures officers threatening the teenager with force, using a slur, and searching him without the legal justification the practice supposedly requires. Tuttle intercuts the audio with interviews and city footage to place the encounter inside the wider numbers: hundreds of thousands of stops a year, the overwhelming majority of the people stopped young men of color, and only a small fraction ever leading to an arrest or a weapon found. The film stays close to the one recording rather than surveying the citywide debate in the abstract, letting a single conversation on a Bronx street stand in for a policy defended in press conferences and disputed in court.
