      Chilling

      This is a very powerful short film. I can't understand anyone who wouldn't be shaken when watching it.

      The visual are incredibly haunting. There are names scattered thought the movie of people who have been harmed by the subject matter, this really adds a gravity to the movie and just makes it incredibly sad and painful.

      Decide for yourself

      To me, a POWERFUL short animation with live and drawings about today's world that we are living and dying in. Yes, I remember what it was like and I too, wish life today is like that when I was a kid.

      Thoughtful and raw

      An educated, intelligent and emotional piece of art. Inevitably there will be those who will down vote this because of its nature, and sadly their own nature. This should be watched with an open heart and mind by all.

      Good message, poor animation

      Much as I appreciate the message of this spoken word piece, I don't think the animation helped get it across. In fact I found the mixture of live action plus drawing, with every little section is a completely different style, to be disorienting. All the different things going on onscreen actually DETRACTED from the words. I hope it will be seen and appreciated, but wish the artists had a more thoughtful approach.

      Necessary

      A mostly animated short film. It deals with a social claim on the racial struggle. Quality. Piercing. Necessary. Safety pin. In the form of verse and light rap lyrics. The animation is of quality. A hard reflection on who we were and what this system has made us in the fight for an equal society in rights.
