The morally murky consequences of a shooting in Milwaukee form the backbone of this story of justice, urban inequality and mercy in the documentary 'When Claude Got Shot,' executive produced by Snoop Dogg.

The morally murky consequences of a shooting in Milwaukee are examined in this documentary about justice, urban inequality and mercy, executive produced by Snoop Dogg.

The reason you probably won't see anybody attempt a narrative remake of Brad Lichtenstein's documentaryThis is what makesconsistently engaging and frequently provocative, but maybe also a little frustrating. Lichtenstein's take isn't completely bloodless, but it's certainly muted on subject matter that maybe required more spark.

Claude can only describe his assailant based on his hair. But he soon learns that the shooter was part of a group behind a string of recent stickups and that the shooter was, himself, shot by Victoria, a nursing student who used her own firearm to avoid being victimized in another incident. Oh and the shooter, Nathan, was only 15.

It's all tied together by Milwaukee's history as one of the country's most segregated cities, Claude's past growing up in a white neighborhood his strict father tried to integrate and the fact that the city's wildly disproportionate incarceration of young Black men has had no impact on its crime rate.
