    Forces the audience to rethink the riots in new and difficult ways, to find empathy and revulsion where it might not have known they existed.

    Part documentary, part one-woman quick-change show and part sociological investigation, this is enthralling theater with a purpose.

    The resulting compromise does not produce a perfect film, but it is a fine record of a classic production and an important reminder of an event that has not stopped echoing in American culture.
