TIME: The Kalief Browder Story

This documentary is sometimes very painful to watch, it shook me like not many documentaries have. It is about tremendous injustice and also tremendous courage. It is about family and sadness, about fighting and seeking justice, about racism in our society, about judges and CO and what happens in prison, about solitary confinement and second chances. But most of all, it is about one young man, whose incredible strength could and will hopefully unable a change in the American justice system. It's a must-watch.

A very moving story, painful to watch and very touching. However, this documentary is poorly constructed, terribly repititive and stretched out to a point the impact of often lost.

Let me preface this by saying I'm somewhat of a junkie for stories like this. I enjoy empathising with people who've suffered, and the reality check that it gives me that there's so much to be grateful for.

This was a terrible ordeal and another in a long line of quite astonishing relics of this kind during this racially divided era.

However, I score it a 5 because of the appalling decision to drag this out like they did. As others have posted, this could probably have been a 2-part series; 3 at the most (it's 6 episodes in reality). Very tedious.

I just finished watching this documentary and I am in tears. This is a must see. It's heartbreaking to see how our justice system failed Kalief. This is still happening to thousands of black men but no one hears about it because most just plead guilty to crimes they did not commit. Kalief did not give up, he fought the justice system head on. I am heartbroken with how this documentary ends but I will not spoil it for you. Please watch this, hopefully it opens at least one person's eyes to the injustice of our system.

I don't know what I'm supposed to say, or possibly could say to encapsulate what I just watched. I have so many thoughts and feelings swirling within me right now that I could say a lot and also say nothing. Whatever I write about The Kalief Browder Story, words won't do it justice, just like the Bronx police, D.A., and judges, and Riker's Island C.O.'s didn't do Kalief Browder Justice. So, instead of me commenting upon this docuseries I encourage the conscious to watch yet another hard-hitting docuseries from Netflix.
