How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A harrowing historical reckoning with the 1923 Rosewood massacre, told as both a brutal chronicle of racial violence and an testament to the ordinary people who refused to abandon their neighbors. It's demanding, angry filmmaking that insists you bear witness.
