Free Meek

I'm not one for glorifying rappers or the lifestyles they tend to lead, but let's be honest with ourselves. The American justice system is in fact broken. If you're not black in America, you certainly don't know what it's like to be black in America. For many black males in America, the only way out of a life in the wrong side of town is to be a professional athlete or a rapper. Their role models are glorifying getting high, drunk, and laid. Rappers even benefit from going to jail, as it boosts their "street cred", which is only possible if the people paying them money let it matter. If everybody stopped buying their albums when they got arrested, things would change in a hurry. Look at the NFL and MLB lately. Marijuana and slapping your girlfriend can ruin your life now. If rap culture was the same way, you'd see most of the negative reviews on here disappear. The rest are political (mostly because conservatives hate black culture), even though it's not a political documentary.

Loved it. Meek really went through hell & back and he's still standing strong. Earned a whole lot of respect for him now that I know his story. See you September 10 !!!

It's evident that the promoters of the current unstable climate of this country are attempting to deter viewers with their comments. Such individuals are unable to take an objective look at the world and the inequalities that actually do exist but enough about them. This was an excellent documentary that provided more background to an already understood unjust system. It's unfortunate that 10+ years of this young man's life had to suffer to bring this mass awareness however, progress has been birthed out of his struggle. Job well done on this film!

Meek Mill is a famous rapper but what happened to him, happens to millions of black and brown people everyday. We don't have a criminal justice system, we have a criminal injustice system. This was a very good documentary. You get hooked in and it's hard to not see all the little parts that contribute to the broken system. So glad this artist is finally free! Hopefully more and more wrongfully convicted people spending time behind bars gets justice.

This piece is by far one of the best documentaries that I have seen. One needn't be a fan of Meek Mill to walk away from this, & feel like one. I am familiar with his music, but had no idea of the insane involvement that he's had with the criminal justice system. I am forever flabbergasted at how Meek didn't let such a fractured system destroy his spirit. Time & time again, he came back stronger than ever. Few human beings, alive or dead have exhibited such a degree of will & determination. I am a fan of the highest order now & forever. I want his entire catalogue. The support & love that never abandoned him is a testament to the power of love. Our system is indeed badly cracked. To have a chance at even spackling it requires the education of the masses, those that are oblivious to the status quo. Free Meek has succeeded in doing just that. This is an extremely satisfying watch. I loved every second.
