How It Feels

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

A meticulous true-crime investigation that questions decades of conviction, unfolding with the patient accumulation of doubt and the weight of lives spent behind bars. The film turns what seemed like certainty into genuine unease about where justice actually lies.
