How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A darkly comic drama about an unlikely profiteer who stumbles into saving lives, wrestling with the tension between personal gain and moral necessity in a system designed to exclude the poor. It's funny and heartbreaking in equal measure, rooted in genuine moral outrage.
