Citation, an itinerary for justice!

Citation delivers on giving us a logical representation of what happens in the real world to a large percentage of the youth, particularly students, and more particularly those of the female gender.

It portrays the flaws in the educational system, the power of the judicial system, the strength in a positive united voice and agenda, and the fault in our so-called stars. It's narrative sequence and epic flashbacks deserve honorable mentions as they draw us deep into realms unfamiliar and virtually unseen to the distant eye.

Morever, at such a sensitive time as this in the year 2020; it butresses the point of power in the people; and most importantly echoes this particular quote- "The government should be afraid of the people, and not the other way around" .

The manipulation, the jury, the tales of well-favored lies, together with the splendid academia, fun, celebrations and music all make this movie a must see!
