The Film Society of Minneapolis St. Paul presents “Do Not Resist,” at the St. Anthony Main Theatre, 115 Main St. SE, Oct. 28-Nov. 10. Director Craig Atkinson’s urgent and powerful exploration of the rapid militarization of the police in the United States. Starting on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri, as the community grapples with the death of Michael Brown, “Do Not Resist” offers a stunning look at the current state of policing in America and a glimpse into the future. The Tribeca Film Festival winner for Best Documentary puts viewers in the center of the action, from a ride-along with a South Carolina SWAT team and inside a police training seminar that teaches the importance of “righteous violence.” To the floor of a congressional hearing on the proliferation of military equipment in small-town police departments, before exploring where controversial new technologies, including predictive policing algorithms, could lead the field next.
