Hold Your Fire is an answer, a groundbreaking documentary with a true example of showing every side. This allows the audience to walk in the shoes of everyone involved in that fateful moment in Brooklyn, New York.

Hold Your Fire is a powerful indictment of a police culture in need of change, one that frequently choose bullets over de-escalation and discourse.
