Viewing Notes
Powerful film, beautifully shot and acted. I’ve read some history books around housing, social injustice and institutional racism in NYC during this time period, so not news to me, but this was so personal and empathetic that it really felt moving.
Watching this with an entirely white audience is always odd for me.
