When They See Us


After avoiding it for a long time because I knew I’d be a total mess afterward, finally watched the series over a course of 3 days. Virtual gut punch producing lots of weeping, but totally worth it.

I don’t know if this thread belongs here but I’d be interested in knowing fellow DUers thoughts.

Personally I wish I could force DJT’s eyelids open - actually do the same with (un)Fairstein & every other white SOB who never apologized - like they did with Alex in Clockwork Orange & force them to watch every minute.

Love is kind of a hard word given the subject matter, but I thought it was wonderful. I may watch it again. The only thing I didn't like was the title. It doesn't say anything about the story, and I have a hard time remembering it.

BTW, Duvernay made a documentary about the imprisonment of black people called 13th. Worth watching.
