Israel "Reefa" Hernandez Jr, an 18-year-old Colombian immigrant and talented artist, is spending his last summer in Miami with friends, family and his new girl Frankie before moving to New York City on an art scholarship. While Israel and his friends skateboard the city streets and spray paint the walls of Wynwood, Miami's graffiti Mecca, anxieties emerge twofold: Israel and his family nervously await their Green Cards while he desperately seeks recognition for his art. On August 6, 2013, as Israel spray paints one last wall which would command immediate respect from his peers, a fatal encounter with a police officer leaves his family and friends devastated, the Miami community outraged, and the country reeling from another case of police brutality.

It hurts to see such a poor representation of someone I personally knew, is what actually happened to him not interesting enough to these filmmakers? All the lies this movies portrays feels disgusting as if the actual events surrounding his death weren't interesting enough for a movie, you took "artistic liberties" and made it about Art Basel and all a bunch of other dumb performative pretentious things he definitely didn't care that much about... it truly breaks my heart to see the story of someone I knew be turned into some stupid movie made by some random people, I see literally NO ONE who knew Israel being a part of the movie. Shame on all of you.

Please ignore the racists in the comments. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The acting was great, and the plot was well developed. This movie is a tribute to a real life tragedy that happened here, in Miami.

Being a Miami native, this movie really hit. It captured the beauty of Miami and the darkness that crawls in the streets. I remember hearing about the graffiti artist who was shocked to death by a police officer on the news years ago and to finally get a whole story (exaggerated or not) was amazing. 10/10 loved it and I'm definitely watching again!
