How It Feels

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

A fraught police thriller that uses a real tragedy as the backdrop for exploring institutional racism and the impossible position of a Muslim officer caught between duty and suspicion. It's an angry, claustrophobic film about being doubly betrayed, by the system you serve and the community you're meant to protect.
