The film is available here: <a href=\"https:\/\/streamingmoviesright.com\/us\/movie\/the-blood-is-at-the-doorstep\/\">Blood is at the Doorstep<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The film by Erik Ljung compellingly and often beautifully documents the quest of Dontre Hamilton&#8217;s family in pursuing justice for his unlawful killing at the hands of a Milwaukee police officer, in April of 2014 in downtown Milwaukee&#8217;s Red Arrow Park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body\">In a positive review, <em>Hollywood Reporter<\/em> describes the film, when it played at the<em> S<\/em><em style=\"font-weight: 300;\">XSW Film Festival<\/em><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\"> in 2017: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"body\"><span style=\"font-weight: 300;\">&#8220;The policeman who killed Milwaukee resident Dontre Hamilton in April 2014, in a public park in the middle of the day, shot him 14 times. He wasn\u2019t the first cop to approach Hamilton as he dozed in the downtown park \u2014 others had been there and seen that he was doing nothing wrong. Why an employee at a nearby Starbucks saw the need to call the police about him, and not once but twice, is one of the sorriest aspects in the horrific chain of events that robbed Hamilton\u2019s family of their son and brother. The 31-year-old black man was schizophrenic and, except for the baton that he reportedly grabbed from the officer, unarmed.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>:&#8221;Blood&#8221; has won numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt6491296\/awards\">awards from film festivals<\/a>. It also has earned a 100 per cent Tomatometer rating from audiences on <em>Rotten Tomatoes<\/em>, which has not determined its own critical consensus yet. I don&#8217;t believe the film has had widespread theatrical release. All reviews I&#8217;ve seen online have been quite positive, including my own review here:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"SnWlaFNMhJ\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/?p=9313\">Milwaukee film brilliantly embraces the family of Dontre Hamilton \u2013 a search for justice<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Milwaukee film brilliantly embraces the family of Dontre Hamilton \u2013 a search for justice&#8221; &#8212; Culture Currents (Vernaculars Speak) \" src=\"https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/?p=9313&#038;embed=true#?secret=TlGFwKmXXR#?secret=SnWlaFNMhJ\" data-secret=\"SnWlaFNMhJ\" width=\"584\" height=\"329\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Film Society of Lincoln Center in New York has conducted a Q and A session (below) with the film director and Hamilton family members, including his mother and brother Nate Hamilton, who is pictured below and in my blog&#8217;s current theme photo (in the red jersey), talking with Milwaukee Police Chief, Alberto Morales, Here&#8217;s the photo by Jonathan Klett, one of the most recent manifestation&#8217;s of the family&#8217;s ongoing fight for justice for Dontre&#8217;s killing:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"11689\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/?attachment_id=11689\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DF8B3C3B-5D19-495B-95A9-27A75C9C6197-1-scaled.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2560,2137\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1591695494&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"DF8B3C3B-5D19-495B-95A9-27A75C9C6197\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DF8B3C3B-5D19-495B-95A9-27A75C9C6197-1-1024x855.jpg\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11689\" src=\"https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DF8B3C3B-5D19-495B-95A9-27A75C9C6197-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"2137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DF8B3C3B-5D19-495B-95A9-27A75C9C6197-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DF8B3C3B-5D19-495B-95A9-27A75C9C6197-1-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DF8B3C3B-5D19-495B-95A9-27A75C9C6197-1-1024x855.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DF8B3C3B-5D19-495B-95A9-27A75C9C6197-1-768x641.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DF8B3C3B-5D19-495B-95A9-27A75C9C6197-1-1536x1282.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DF8B3C3B-5D19-495B-95A9-27A75C9C6197-1-2048x1710.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/kevernacular.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/DF8B3C3B-5D19-495B-95A9-27A75C9C6197-1-359x300.jpg 359w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Dontre Hamilton&#8217;s brother Nate (in red jersey) talks with MPD chief during a recent protest against police bruality in the wake of George Floyd&#8217;s murder by Minneapolis police.
