Bill Morrison’s INCIDENT won Best Documentary at the 2024 Walla Walla Movie Crush; if it doesn’t win the Oscar as well, I’ll suspect a conspiracy. INCIDENT is a harrowing, a real-time revelation of what precipitated a murder by police officers and what followed in attempting to shape stories. Just consider the frame above. Wow. @bimo65 wisely lets the compiled footage speak volumes, keeping silent himself. Viewers must draw their own conclusions… hopefully more deliberately than others draw weapons. #justice #policethepolice #realtimetruth #cameraseverywhere #wallawallahollaholla #shortdocumentary #shortdoc #documentaryshort #docshort @theacademy
