A C @AC80880 1 day ago Astonishing. Gripping. Unforgettable. Saw a sneak preview screening before it opens in theaters later this month and it was a film that was extremely powerful emotionally but also made a lot of us think about what's happening in America right now. I honestly am shocked that I never heard about this story before - it should be shown in every university in America. See more Read all reviews
