Description
Summary:When filmmaker Ramsey Denison went to Las Vegas for a relaxing weekend, the last thing he expected was to be arrested and beaten for reporting an incident of police brutality that he personally witnessed on the strip. WHAT HAPPENED IN LAS VEGAS examines the lack of accountability within the Las Vegas Department concerning four cases where individuals were killed by the police. The documentary not only takes an unflinching look at one of the most corrupt police departments in the country, but also explores the officers who are working to bring about change by becoming one with the communities they're sworn to serve. Winner of Best Documentary at the **Las Vegas Black Film Festival**. *"A documentary profile that blows the whistle on a disturbing pattern of excessive force and corruption within its ranks."* - Michael Rechtshaffen, ***The Los Angeles Times***
