Synopsis:: Directed by Muta'Ali Muhammad, the hour-and-a-half long documentary tells the story of Yusuf Hawkins, a 16-year old boy killed in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. His death is explained through four main angles: those who loved him, those accused of killing him, those who investigated, and those leading the political response. Together these different perspectives paint a vivid picture of the Brooklyn of 30 years ago, not very different from the Brooklyn of today.
