How It Feels

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

An urgent documentary that places you inside a student-led movement as it unfolds in real time, capturing both the idealism and the intense pressure cooker of political organizing under state scrutiny. The film is energized by conviction but grounded in the messy, costly reality of direct action.
