Incredible performances, beautiful filmography

I completely forgot I was watching people acting, I was so involved in this amazing film. It is harrowing to watch at times but highlights the harsh realities of racism, misogyny and violence that continue to this day. As hard as it is to face, maybe it's the dose of reality we all need to continue to create change.

Can't wait to now read the book!
