A powerful true story with a great cast centered around the tenacious Monaghan. Hanish and Portnoy do an incredible job with the flashbacks in the film, which reveal depth of character and the complexity of the situation - both from a legal and familial/social perspective.
This complexity was one of the bigger takeaways for me. It's a theme that is often overlooked in our current political and social climate. Everyone seems to enjoy a polarizing stance that puts them at odds with another group, but the reality is the truth in a lot of situations is much more case-specific based, and residing in a messy gray-zone between two dominating ideologies.
A valuable watch if one is keen to gain perspective on an incredible and topical true story.
