The content is heavy, dark, violent and disgusting, but it's the history that this country would prefer not be told. Great work. Sad that even today, people want to protect their own even in wrong doing by dismissing gang rape as randy good old boy behavior.

Truth still wins
Great story could use better treatment
The story of Recy Taylor is a harsh reality that needs to be brought to light. Sadly this documentary errs on the busy side, with an ominous churning soundtrack throughout that , at times, has two types of music going on at once. The images are often rapidly switched with transitions that don't give sufficient breathing time and even the story itself seemed insufficient in the eyes of the filmmakers to stand on its own. It's a necessary story and a difficult truth but it could have used a more effective treatment through this medium.
Probably good
This was probably a good movie. However I could only understand about every other word
