This is the first feature film for Writer/Director Cory Bowles and Producer Aaron Horton, and has proved to be a cinematic success creating countless important conversations since its opening at Toronto International Film Festival in the fall of 2017. The 90 minute film, recipient of Telefilm Canada's Talent Fund Micro-budget Production, is an intrepid work of art that plunges deep into the narrative of race relations and the issues with law Enforcement that African Americans face daily. The film flips the script and calls upon the viewer after seeing issues from multiple angles to draw their own conclusions. I feel like the writer wanted to present ideas and solicit perspectives as much as he wanted to tell a story. A great deal of creative chances were taken with this film and luckily they were pulled off exceptionally. Filmed in my home province of Nova Scotia I would give this film a #10 for its courage and the soundtrack alone. Bravo for Ronnie Rowe Jr. and Sophia Walker for notable performances. I look forward to seeing what this team produces in the future.

score 9/10
