Film is my language. I've been neglecting my ability to understand certain things currently in my life, I think, because I haven't been watching as much media lately. This one started out as merely a continuation of watching more footage of urban social settings, but it slowly grew on me, delivering a much heavier emotional toll than I expected. Recognizing that Dewayne's life isn't just some filmed portrayal of adolescent suicide but a true-to-life instance is devastating to process. I'm both fascinated by many of the documented conversations and settings these teens find themselves in, but equally heartbroken and moved when seeing their various states of familial strain, abandonment, or shared dependencies. This hits a nerve for me, and I'll likely keep it in mind for weeks to come.
