After premiering to raves at Telluride earlier this year, Nick Broomfield’s documentary “Tales of the Grim Sleeper” has its first trailer.
Broomfield (“Heidi Fleiss: Hollywood Madam”) presents a unique story about a serial killer who plagued the streets of South Central Los Angeles. “Tales” explores the distrusting relationship between the poor black community in L.A. and the cops who didn’t make much of an effort to stop the killer — undoubtedly, a timely portrait of racism in this country.
