Synopsis: Synopsis:
Ninety Minutes Later paints a portrait of Vanessa Marquez as a vivacious, talented, and trailblazing young, brown, aspiring actor, as well as one with an outspoken and frequently complicated nature. A picture of Marquez continually pushing away her closest friends that journeyed with her from the start of a marvelous career in the seminal film Stand and Deliver, to her descent into chronic illness -- is painted here. Her friends are depicted both in their earliest stages of grief and disbelief, as well as in various stages of regret for steps that might have been taken to stop the tragedy. But the steady pursuit of justice for Vanessa continues. By virtue of the California Public Records Act, filmmaker Cyndy Fujikawa secured access to the raw police body-worn camera footage which tells a different story than what was released publicly. In a groundswell of police shootings and calls for change, Ninety Minutes Later puts a microscope over one incident, weaving together news footage, clips of Marquez' film and television career, interviews with young aspiring "Vanessa's" and the police body-worn camera footage from several angles.
