Traffic Stop addresses an issue central to American consciousness over recent years - the tendency for people of colour to come off badly when stopped by the police. This film uses video footage from a camera on the dashboard of a police vehicle to show what happened to Breaion King, a 26-year-old African-American school teacher from Austin, Texas, when she was pulled over for breaking the speed limit. Kate Davis, the film's director, talks to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Roger Hearing about how the film came about. (Photo: Breaion King's arrest in 2015. Credit: HBO)
