This doc is a vital record of an America transitioning to martial law so quickly and stealthily that we're barely acknowledging the change.
As chilling as it is one-sided.
Doubling down as director and cinematographer, Craig Atkinson proves worthy at both assignments.
While Atkinson's intentions are good, his methods are shaky, resulting in a surface-skimming film that raises issues without ever approaching a solution.
This is not a film about racism in America. It is, instead, a film about the increased militarization of America's police forces. And it is scary stuff indeed.
Most of these bits and pieces have merit, but the connections are so loose that "Do Not Resist" amounts to little more than a grab bag.
There's a vibrancy to the way Atkinson gets in the thick of whatever situation he's in as his own cinematographer and allows the jaw dropping moments to speak for themselves.
Regardless your political affiliation, there's plenty within Do Not Resist that should leave you thoroughly uneasy about the growing trend of a militarized police departments.
The pervasive question of "how did we get here" is what makes director Craig Atkinson's timely documentary Do Not Resist so compelling...
Chilling and essential.
Craig Atkinson's incendiary new documentary provides sobering food for thought on police brutality and intimidation.
Do Not Resist does a good job of summing up recent events and looking at the philosophies that have fed into them.
