How It Feels

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

A claustrophobic moral reckoning between a humane lawyer and an unrepentant white supremacist, where every conversation feels like a battle for the soul of the other. Strathairn carries the film's crushing weight as he grapples with whether understanding can bridge an abyss of hate.
