Nominated for the 90th Academy Awards (2018) and the Teddy Award for Best Documentary at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival (2017), and shortlisted for the Documentary Program at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival, this documentary was ranked No. 16 on the British "Sight & Sound" annual list of the top 25 works. Directed by Jans Ford, in 1992, the director's brother William was shot and killed, but an all-white jury acquitted the murderer. Through "Strong Island," the black director delves into his own grief, anger, and fear in the face of such justice. Praise has already been heard, describing the film as the most innovative and aesthetically intriguing documentary at Sundance.
