    Such an intimate view of incarcerated men and the justice system and how we need to dismantle said system. Also just a beautiful portrayal of men and the courage of vulnerability, the importance of community and the arts, and how the emotional connections between individuals can save us. Lean on others! Replace anger with expressing your hurt. Despite the tragedies and heartbreaks it still managed to be hopeful yet bittersweet at the end.

    All of the men who have been through the system and the rehabilitation theater program playing themselves were incredible. And also I miss theater and want to be in a play.

    Much more steeped in political commentary than I thought it would be, which I liked! Except why are we anti-cat and why are cats always portrayed as the evil, I must always defend my cats, my people, my beautiful feline smart talented kitties

    beautiful and raw and tender and moving. I wish for all black men to be free of forced masculinity and the cycle of violence pushed onto them by society as the seeming only means of survival for some from a young age. I wish for them to love and be loved in all love’s many shapes and forms. I wish for them to fiercely feel and to dream and to succeed in life by their own definitions of success.

    the singular moment i enjoyed was when a man was being violently misogynistic and was then immediately stabbed to death with a shard of dvd everything else was highly disturbing and not in a good way
