Some dude with dreadlocks goes through his neighborhood and daps up some other guys with dreadlocks, in fact everyone has dreadlocks in this shortfilm.
He goes to a barber and shaves his head bald, goes home to whats probaly his little sister or sum that has a bald head too (probably cancer).
So like those barbers on tiktok clipfarming a respect moments video shaving their head bald after shaving a cancer patients head bald.
Good use of music and simple but decent short film, liked it but its not something memorable

in my week long phase of watching student short films, this is definitely my favourite. it does so much with so little, especially cos it has no dialogue, in a way that makes you really reflect on what youve just watched and who you are as a person. plus you can really tell that ryan coogler was gonna be an excellent director from this cos it was one of his first films
ts banging tho its only 5 minutes please watch it
