This week we dive into the 1995's version of 1999 in the movie Strange Days directed by Kathryn Bigelow.  The movie follows an ex-cop turned memory-dealer, Lenny, who is sucked into a murder cover-up when a friend gives him the recording of a high-profile black musician being executed by a cop. Lenny attempts to get to the bottom of the situation while dealing with his own demons, all while the city of L.A. is a powder keg of racial tension and end-of-the-millennium fervor.  Unfortunately still relevant 28 years later.
