How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sharp, deliberately paced examination of how justice becomes a tool of oppression when wielded by the corrupt. The film watches the machinery of a rigged system crush innocent people with bureaucratic precision and legal theatricality.
