Most Powerful Global Documentary

It's no secret that we've seen so many documentaries in Global, but which one is the most powerful to view? For me, I think the one that stands out the most was the one about Jordan Davis, an innocent African-American teenager who was shot through the door of his friends car, by now-criminal Michael Dunn for playing rap music and "identifying" himself as a thug and a threat. It's a shame and a complete embarrassment for us as a nation to say we have come so far from slavery, when in fact innocent teens and adults are being shot at for, I hate to say it, being black. This documentary really portrayed to us what is going on in the world now. Unlike the documentaries we had viewed that happened about twenty to fifty years ago, whereas this happened about two or three years ago. What also was key about this was being able to witness the evidence brought against Michael Dunn, interviews with Jordan's friends, and most importantly, how the trial was decided.
