It is so hard not to compare this to THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7, which came out this same year. They tell very similar stories, although this focuses so much more on the human rights of African and more specifically Trinidadian people. It takes a bit for the film to get going but once it does, it is hard not to look away. The film is great at making you angry at such a mishandling of justice is taking place and the bullshit of a trial these people have to go through. Letitia Wright was phenomenal in this and the judge who handled the case was abhorrent. Every time the word "savages" is said, my heart broke.
