    Two words...

    Buffalo Soldier. Period. End of story. Now scram ya hypocrite.
    5teacher-darren

    A doc lover who really struggled with this one.

    As an Aussie who lived in New Orleans for about five months in 2015, I was very excited to see this at the Melbourne International Film Festival.

    However, I did struggle to engage with any of the participants the film follows and felt that there was nothing really driving the film and it felt quite aimless.

    The black and white photography is crisp and sharp and it creates a sombre, stiffling effect.

    We follow members of the black community in different parts of NOLA from black panthers at meetings and working on the streets with the homeless to a woman under pressure to keep her bar running to two young brothers roaming their neighbourhood.

    There just wasn't enough going on story wise to keep me engaged in the characters lives.
