For many of us, this film exposes things that we already knew to be true. Sadly, many of the people who need to learn this information the most will never see this film.
This is a well-made documentary, and I really appreciated how much effort was put into connecting with the people who were closest to Floyd. His roommates seemed to be good people, and it was shocking to learn the truth about Floyd's own family.
The entire situation was explored in an empathetic and honest manner, and it truly makes me sad that the addiction aspect of this story was ignored. This was a man that needed true help, and not only did he not receive it - but his death was used to further a false political narrative. His death was used by his own family, used by the media, and used by politicians. It's an absolute disgrace.
Everyone needs to see this. Everyone should be asking serious questions about the entire BLM movement, and beyond that - everyone should be questioning just how many cultural movements have been built upon lies.
