Ryan Coogler’s first feature film was Fruitvale Station (2013). It is based on the 2009 fatal shooting of Oscar Grant. The film starred Michael B. Jordan and Octavia Spencer in the lead roles. To tell the story of Grant’s final day, Coogler undertook copious research and interviewed Grant’s family, their lawyer, and individuals who had encountered Grant in the hours before the tragic incident.
