Rodney King ingår i filmen Information is Free som består av åtta kortfilmer/musikvideor som undersöker och dekonstruerar politiska, religiösa och privata händelser ur ett medieperspektiv. Erik Pauser och Johan Söderberg har blandat egna bilder med material approprierat från olika TV-kanaler. Rodney King var den svarte man som brutalt misshandlades av Los Angeles-polisen. Händelsen filmades av ett vittne och sändes av en lokal TV-station. Vid rättegången friades poliserna av en helvit jury trots de överväldigande bevisen. Händelsen var gnistan som tände de omfattande kravallerna i Los Angeles 1993. Musik av Lucky People Center.
