How It Feels

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

A searing, unflinching portrait of childhood trapped in cycles of poverty and violence. Watching this film is emotionally exhausting, it refuses to look away from the damage these systems inflict on the young.
