It starts off with one of the last things you see in the movie, a recording of how the police officers were treating the people pulled off the train. The entire movie is based on a true story and it all happened in one day. Oscar Grant was selling weed, lost his job, and was trying to fix the trust in his relationship. His relationship wan't the only thing he was try to fix, he tried getting his job back so that he could have a safe and secure source of income since he was low on money, but that didn't work out. He was suppose to meet up with someone to sell, but then realizes he can't do that anymore so he dumps it out. Later on him, his girl, and a couple of friends went to go and celebrate the New Year, he ran into a issue on the train which almost lead to a fight. The police ended up getting involved and the night continued to get worse for Oscar and he ended up getting shot.
This is definitely would recommend this movie, Michael B. Jordan played his role well. It still relates to what happens in today's world.
