A bit trippy, a lot timely. The reckoning on matters of race that America has faced permeates this story. It floats like an omnipotent perfume, heady and dangerous. The characters are reminder that Black suffering and death are devastatingly unremarkable in their prevalence. A truely heartbreaking notion. It is about the acts of mothers, fathers and communities trying to break the wheel.
