I thought this was an incredibly important and necessary retelling of a case of injustice based in discrimination. Many people go through life without consequences because of who they are or who their parents are while they’re actively negatively impacting the people around them. The people they hurt will never get justice. Like in this story where Brian and his friends may have been criminals in the traditional sense of the word, they were making a difference in their community through music and their art projects while Cody did nothing but cause trouble and play football and hurt the people who were different from him. Yet he gets to walk away. Brian never will. I think everyone should see this film or research Brian’s story. I think it could be very mind opening for a lot of people. And this story doesn’t just apply to punks or alternative people in general, violence based in discrimination and discrimination in the justice system happens to all different kinds of people all of the time just because they’re different. That’s why I think this story is so important and I’m glad it was told.
