An 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 - the directorial debut of Detropia cinematographer Craig Atkinson - 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.
Leave your thoughts about Do Not Resist.
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeAn assured doc debut that knows how to stand out in a crowded field, Craig Atkinson's Do Not Resist avoids the handwringing format of other (very welcome) examinations of 21st-century American policing, offering instead something like a despairing tone poem. |
| NewcityRay PrideA piercing, panoramic look at the federal government's purposeful yet potentially cataclysmic militarization of local police departments. |
| CinemacyMorgan RojasThe pervasive question of "how did we get here" is what makes director Craig Atkinson's timely documentary Do Not Resist so compelling... |
| Willamette WeekCurtis CookSure to affirm those who already agree with the documentary's ideology, convert a few wavering civilians, and shame anyone out there who legitimately believes that Concord, New Hampshire is in dire need of an armored personnel carrier. |
| MediumChris Barsanti...equal parts black comedy and dystopian nightmare. |
| East Bay ExpressKelly VanceDo Not Resist is an audacious examination of an especially troubling aspect of the ongoing militarization of the US. See it and draw your own conclusions. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesAtkinson tracks the civil administration of this domestic buildup... The director also examines the gung ho police culture that encourages domestic militarization |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenThe parameters of homeland security are chillingly assessed in Do Not Resist, a troubling documentary examining the escalating militarization of the nation’s police forces. |
| Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)Bob BloomOne thing this documentary hints at, is that the United States is slowly becoming a militarized police state and that citizens are powerless to do anything about it. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzA furious and often terrifying documentary about the militarization of US police. |
