How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A quiet, morally complex drama about a community forced to confront their conscience when an elderly Black man's final wish collides with the racial laws that bind their world. The film trades spectacle for intimate reckoning.
