I watched Fruitvale Station last night and let me tell you this movie is incredibly powerful, raw, and emotionally gripping - I was glued to every scene. This is based on a true story of Oscar Grant who was shot by Police on Jan 1 2009 at the BART station in CA..

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.
