Fruitvale Station

Based on a (sadly very true) story, this indie drama shows how a 22-year-old Bay Area resident named Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan, Chronicle) spent his last day crossing paths with friends, enemies, family and strangers before fatally shot by a BART police officer on New Year's Day 2009. The film captured the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at this year's Sundance Film Festival. 85 minutes R.
