I think movies like this show the struggle this country really has with race. I would love to see it.

I hope to take my wife–pregnant with our first child–to this screening. It’ll set the right tone: his first film won’t be some forgettable Hollywood blockbuster; it’ll be Fruitvale Station.

I need to make myself go to see this film, though i know it will be painful. After working in Chicago with teens and young adults, I heard about and saw situations that could have turned into this one, easily. I remember when this happened and I do want to see how they handle it in the film. Octavia Spencer’s heart is in the right place. DC market

I’m from San Francisco and was in the East Bay the night that Oscar Grant was shot. I remember reading headlines the next morning and the shock that pervaded the campus and the entire local community for weeks after that. Oscar Grant’s death is part of my own history and I would really, really like the opportunity to see how the incident has been rendered for the big screen, especially considering no other movie theaters are playing it!

I would love to see this movie. For one, it tells a story that needs to be told and that many have yet to hear, the story of the murder of Oscar Grant by BART police. In light of recent events going on around this country with the trial of George Zimmerman for the murder of Trayvon Martin, it is good to know that films are being made in this country about the pressing issue of race and class inequality that still exist in and effect this country today. Also, I’ve been wanting to see this film since I first heard of it going into production.

It sounds like a compelling story, based on the everyday tragedies of life that unfortunately has become so many people’s reality.

I am inspired not just by this emotional story, not just by the dynamic of a father and daughter, but more by the performance that Michael B. Jordan will give us. I am that African American male, I am that father and by strokes of luck or divine intervention I am in the enviable position of. Counselor. It is my desire to help young people to make positive choices, and this story represents the impact that one could have on a community.I will watch this film regardless of the contest and am sure that I will leave with a tear in my eye and a fire in my heart.
