How It Feels

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

A rigorous, four-hour manifesto that builds from economic analysis to revolutionary fervor, demanding you reckon with Latin America's exploitation and the cost of liberation. It's a film made for action as much as understanding.
