I Can't Breathe (God Forgive Them)

We all watch indie films and expect there to be technical flaws, confusing or unpolished subplots and poor acting...especially when the budget is under $100k but ya know what, this film impressed me. It was made with heart and based on an actual event with a real message to the public and not just entertainment. Entertaining is what Hollywood is there for. The main event in this film is similar to a nationally televised and recognized tragedy and titled as such. While this may offend some people I feel it's important to understand that this unfortunate ordeal isn't copyrighted to anyone. If it's happened elsewhere it should also be fair game for a film such as this one. Good job!

This movie was very gripping and disturbing at the same time. I felt such empathy and sadness for the victim for all he had to endure, and such disdain for the ignorance of the police officers involved, May God forgive them. I hope every law enforcement agency would require cadets to see this movie prior to joining the force. The sad part about it is that there are still police officers that behave this way in every city in every state. All my prayers and support to the victim and his family and pray that they may have a blessed life from here on in. I can't wait to see the final outcome I just see that justice is restored.

Excellent story! The passion and effort that went into creating this is amazing. Tom Laresca is an incredible person- so kind and genuine. He has worked very hard for a long time to share this story on a larger level. I was fortunate enough to hear the story directly from Tom and the movie is just as good! It is so amazing to be able to see it played out visually. The quality of the filming and acting is excellent- likely because everyone who had a part in this truly understands how important this story is. I highly recommend you take the time to watch this movie and share it with others. Thank you to all involved!

I'm sorry, I really wanted to give this flick a chance, seeing that it was produced locally. But really? Titling your film "I Can't Breathe" in the wake of the George Floyd tragedy? I understand that this film was meant to be an analogy for the story of Job, but it seems like a glaring oversight on so many fronts.

I honestly can't wait. If you watch until the end you'll know what I mean. Very powerful messages about police brutality, human rights, our connection with God, the afterlife, family issues / believing in yourself. The film was made from a book written by the main character (Thomas Laresca) and the events take place in the 90's. It's just another example of how the system is corrupt and innocent people are accused and abused by bad police and bad judges still today. This film puts pressure on a corrupt system accountable for their 'forgivable', but not forgettable actions. Very interesting film, I would highly recommend watching this.
