Showtime has made the two acclaimed documentaries exploring systematic racism in America available for free amid the George Floyd protests. The Peabody-nominated 2019 documentary 16 Shots from director Richard Rowley examines the 2014 shooting of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald by Chicago police officer Jason Van Dyke and the cover-up that ensued. Sacha Jenkins’ 2017 documentary Burn Motherf*cker Burn! explores the complicated relationship between the LAPD and the city’s Black and minority communities.
