Fruitvale Station made me weep.

From it's Wiki page-"Fruitvale Station is a 2013 American biographical tragedy film...written and directed by Ryan Coogler. It is Coogler's feature directorial debut and is based on the events leading to the death of Oscar Grant, a young man who was killed in 2009 by BART police officer Johannes Mehserle at the Fruitvale district station of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system in Oakland."

Cast-

Michael B. Jordan as Oscar Grant III
Melonie Diaz as Sophina Mesa (Oscars girlfriend)
Octavia Spencer as Wanda Johnson (Oscars mother)
Ariana Neal as Tatiana Grant(Oscars young daughter)

They were excellent in their roles.
