Truly moving film that puts the viewer directly next to both sides of an incredibly pertinent issue in today's world. Told with frankness, empathy and compassion while never losing sight of its narrative purpose. An inspiring film.

Stirring film with direct applications in today's world
Multi-dimensional doc - what we need this year
There's no collective truth anymore, but this film comes close to finding it. It feels nuanced and balanced through years and years of reporting. Can't talk about it without spoiling, but some of the moments and access the filmmakers got are insane.
