How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A brutal, unflinching chronicle of a man's moral descent into cruelty and exploitation, watching the systematic abuse of vulnerable workers across decades in a marginalized community. This is a dense, immersive experience of witnessing corruption metastasize.
