There's also a guy madly playing the cello on a building rooftop and a subplot about a hijab-clad photographer thrown in for good measure. The whole ordeal is set to the reggae song "Lions," by Bob Marley's grandson, Skip Marley.

The cringeworthy climax comes when Jenner breaks ranks to offer one of the riot cops a can of Pepsi. The gesture is met with cheers, and the photographer happens to be perfectly poised to snap a shot.
