Monsters and Mendirector Reinaldo Marcus Green on finding empathy in police brutality film

Warning: EWs NSFW clip fromMonsters and Men(above) contains strong language and an act of violence.

Literally the hairs on my arm were standing up.

This is a different perspective.

Whether I agreed or disagreed was sort of irrelevant; It was just necessary for me tohearit.

Its a struggle Green feels audiences and perhaps Americans in general arent used to seeing.

We can turn on the TV and see the killings; I didnt want to show that.

I had that image in my head, like, wheres she?

Wheres that young girl?

I have seenBlindspotting,BlacKkKlansman,andSorry to Bother you, all three very different films….

Were all on the same team…. Im throwing a pass toBlacKkKlansmanin the end zone.

However we move the needle isit.

Monsters and Menopens Sept. 28.
