this came so out of left field and its amazing! not perfect but I'm so surprised at how much plot they were able to pack into this without making it overbearing.
the cast is fantastic and the voiceovers for each the characters was chef's kiss

This is a beautifully shot film but the lynching scene was so hard to watch
