The latest documentary by Roberto Minervini (Stop the Pounding Heart, The Other Side) chronicles the everyday life of African Americans fighting for justice in the summer of 2017. Minervini masterfully switches between four storylines in New Orleans and in Jackson County, Mississippi. The film world premiered at the Venice Film Festival in 2018 and was featured at the IFFR earlier this year.
