How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A raw, unflinching portrait of a man trying to break his son free from the cycle of gang violence that claimed his own youth. This is intimate and painful, a story about redemption met with the grinding inertia of systemic poverty and fractured families.
