Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Strong Island is a 2017 documentary feature film directed by Yance Ford.It recounts the murder of Yance Ford's older brother William in 1992. William Ford, a black man, was shot and killed at the age of 24 by a 19-year-old mechanic named Mark Reilly, at the auto shop where Ford's girlfriend's car was being repaired. Reilly shot Ford through the heart with a rifle but an all-white grand jury, after a less-than-enthusiastic investigation, declined to issue an indictment, and the case died. Yance Ford documents not just the murder but the continuing effects of the tragedy and how it tore apart his family. | |

| Strong Island / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: Yance Ford skips around a fair bit, first sketching out the history of his family, getting up to the murder, then going back to William Ford in college, then his father's lingering death from a stroke not long after William's murder, then back to the investigation of the murder, etc. This also means that the film is over halfway through before we find out the reason for the otherwise inexplicable failure to indict Reilly: the night of the murder was William Ford's second angry confrontation at the auto repair shop, a month after he had a prior argument with Mark Reilly. | |
