How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A methodical, increasingly tense account of a working-class whistleblower fighting institutional indifference as her body becomes the collateral damage of corporate negligence. The film radiates quiet fury, both literal and moral, as Karen's determination transforms into desperation.
