Han R Sep 16, 2018 Acting was good and seemed to match documentary style filmed. I got the plot and then it was a little slow moving then it hits ya. Def uncomfortable at times when slpped in the faec with the double standard. See more
Hermione R Aug 31, 2018 I see cops as angry people who has been hurt from others. This movie has opened my eyeys as a black women! Blacks are pushed around pulled over for no reason and white people think they shouldn't be profiled. See more
Leia G Aug 26, 2018 Greqt acting, ignorant material.
