Viewing Notes
A sobering, maybe harrowing, watch that presents its subject matter with seriousness and a nuanced, layered approach that does it all justice. Nothing and no one is left unscathed or implicated.
Glad I got to see this at IFS.

Very envious. Wishing I had made the effort to see this at MBT.

It was interesting watching with a crowd. There were some definite gasp/cringe moments for the audience. I was certainly more prepared than most everyone else.
