“The stunning cinematography was created by Eric Branco (40-YEAR-OLD VERSION). He uses close shots to amplify the Black attorney’s and his wife’s emotions and questionings towards the ongoing racism around them. If we combine this with the incredible acting of the cast, the film deepens the emotions and struggles of Black man and women in a racist society even more. Roderick Lawrence gives a wonderful performance on a film which we hope will get people talking about this important subject.”
“The film of the decade...”
“...beautifully encaptures the difficulties and threats that black Americans face every day of their lives, from judgmental and hateful looks to seemingly innocent and passive comments made out of ignorance.”
