How It Feels

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

A searing interrogation of American racism built from James Baldwin's words and decades of archival footage, demanding you confront the historical and ongoing violence embedded in the nation's racial fabric. It's beautiful and furious, a call to witness that lingers long after it ends.
