The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to really sit with the emotions and stories being told. It's raw, sometimes a bit uncomfortable, but that’s part of its charm—it doesn’t shy away from the complexities of its themes. You can feel the filmmakers’ commitment to honoring these lives, which makes it stand apart from other documentaries that might gloss over the gritty realities.
