Pre-Crime

12/21/2021

The documentary film explores the intentions behind the design and the implication of Pre-Crime algorithms. The algorithm tries to pin point people that might be prone to predict or be victim of a crime. Thus the police hopes to mitigate crimes before they occur. The algorithm uses score system, which is prone to select people from minorities. Further its implications are far reaching and raise many questions related to human rights and freedoms, privacy and inequality. The film explores many cities that employ the system – Kent, UK, Chicago, IL; Paris, France; Fresno, CA.

I'm a film critic and I like to write about films that are exceptional and stand above the rest.

"The role of the critic is to help people see what is in the work, what is in it that shouldn't be, what is not in it that could be. He is a good critic if he helps people understand more about the work that they could see for themselves; he is a great critic, if by his understandings and feeling for the work, by his passion, he can excite people so that they want to experience more of the art that is there, waiting to be seized. He is not necessarily bad critic if he makes errors in judgement. He is a bad critic if he does not awaken the curiosity, enlarge the interests and understanding of his audience. The art of the critic is to transmit his knowledge of and enthusiasm for art to others." ( Pauline Kael )
