How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A courtroom battle for the soul of a young man shaped by urban poverty, exploring whether circumstance or choice defines a criminal. Powerfully earnest about systemic injustice while wrestling with genuine moral ambiguity.
