With an amazing cast, script, and cinematography, this movie is a must watch for all aspiring filmmakers and people with interest in the civil rights movement. It's award winning cast tells the story beautifully. The film leaves viewers on the edge of their seats. Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield deliver powerful performances, along with the rest of the cast. Director Shaka King expertly showed this period in history that was full of violence, hate, and protest. It makes a statement about America’s climate then and today, and how many things have not changed. Overall, I enjoyed this film very much. It made me think about what we can do to help the world achieve equality.
