Here is the synopsis for “Fruitvale Station”:

Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize for dramatic feature and the Audience Award for U.S. dramatic film at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, director Ryan Coogler’s “Fruitvale Station” follows the true story of Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan): a 22-year-old San Francisco Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of Dec. 31, 2008 and feels something in the air.

Not sure what it is, he takes it as a sign to get a head start on his resolutions: being a better son to his mother (Octavia Spencer) (whose birthday falls on New Year’s Eve), being a better partner to his girlfriend Sophina (Melonie Diaz) (who he hasn’t been completely honest with as of late) and being a better father to Tatiana (Ariana Neal) (their beautiful 4-year-old daughter).

Crossing paths with friends, family and strangers, Oscar starts out well. As the day goes on, he realizes that change is not going to come easily. His resolve takes a tragic turn, however, when BART officers shoot him in cold blood at the Fruitvale subway stop on New Year’s Day. Oscar’s life and tragic death would shake the Bay Area – and the entire nation – to its very core.
