How It Feels

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

A propulsive underdog story where an unlikely hero uses grit and determination to take down corporate negligence and protect vulnerable people. It's energizing and fundamentally about the power of one person to challenge institutions.
