    true history: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_School_for_Boys

    important stories told so gracefully. i hope it reminds people to once again kill their inner cops, if not for themselves then for people around them. 

    also, hopefully it deters people from corporally punishing anyone let alone children.

    the storytelling and filmmaking reminds me of “i am not your negro” and also “black skin, white masks” (book by frantz fanon) — adding poetry and philosophy to historical journalism is so important!

    ★★★★★

    terrifying life lessons with a bitter sweet coating of grief and yearning. i’m getting notes of hope and letting go too. 

    i’m grateful to still notice new things after the 3rd watch, and i cannot wait for the 4th.
