I wish we had gotten more of Steve's thoughts and feelings throughout the trial! But I do love how this story makes you question your own implicit biases and teaches you about how wild the court room is.
Graphic: Racism and Murder
Moderate: Sexual assault
Minor: Drug use
The style is very new to me and I enjoyed it! Again, I wish we learned more of Steve's feelings without the lens of his film.
