Why this pick
Its shifting perspectives echo Starr's divided worlds: a witnessing community must weigh safety, loyalty, grief, and the personal cost of speaking out.

A tender, visually expressive portrait of Black love and family confronting institutional cruelty, with the same emotional directness and commitment to individual voices.
