How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A exuberant musical about scrappy newspaper boys fighting back against exploitation with song, dance, and solidarity. It's earnest about its underdog struggle while never losing its infectious energy and theatrical joy.
