Rodney King performed by Roger Guenveur Smith
History, poetry, and tragedy collide when stage and film actor Roger Guenveur Smith (American Gangster, Malcolm X) tackles the thorny odyssey of Rodney King, caught in the glare of the national spotlight as the victim of police brutality that ignited the 1992 L.A. riots. In this riveting performance, Smith offers a meditation of a flawed, goodhearted man and reveals America’s endlessly complicated relationship with its racial past and present.
