In a time where we all need to have more empathy and understanding for one another this film gives me hope for a better tomorrow...
I had the privilege of watching this film at a recent film festival and can't properly express how moved I was. I was impressed my every aspect of the film. The directing, the writing, editing diverse casting and performances were all incredible. I didn't feel like I was watching a movie but rather peering into the lives of real people going through an incredibly traumatic event.
The story is based on a tragic real life event. One that takes place far too often in America. A young black man unjustly being shot by a police officer. However, what makes this film special is its approach to authentically telling the story from all perspectives. We (the viewer) get to peer into the chaos that ensues behind the scenes of the justice system, the interpersonal relationships that implode under the pressure of national headlines, and the lives forever ruined after a loss.
Overall the creative minds behind this film capture the complicated emotions, and harsh realities of the situation so incredibly well that it oddly left me feeling optimistic.
"Wow, these people get it" is all I could think after leaving the theatre. Such a great film. Go watch it!
