How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A furious and heartbreaking dramatization of a wrongly imprisoned man's relentless fight for exoneration, anchored by the strained relationship with his father. The film burns with righteous indignation at systemic injustice while never losing sight of the human devastation it causes.
