Morgan Freeman’s New Film Is Based On A Real Police Brutality Case

Morgan Freeman’s newest movie, “The Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain,” addresses the ongoing issue of police brutality by dramatizing the true story of Kenneth Chamberlain Sr.’s death.

Chamberlain was tasered and fatally shot by police in his home in November 2011 in White Plains, NY. Police were conducting a welfare check on him after he accidentally activated his medical alert device.

“It's past time for us as a nation to address this,” Freeman said. There was this whole movement about Black Lives Matter, and the pushback ... And we have to somehow make that important enough to stand by it. We as a nation, all of us.”

In 2017, a judge ruled that the White Plains police were justified when they shot Chamberlain. But in 2020, the Chamberlain family won an appeal to bring the case back to court.
