Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Bertaut This six-part documentary tells the almost unbearably tragic story of Kalief Browder; a 16 year old who was arrested for allegedly stealing a backpack. With his family unable to afford the $900 bail, Browder spent 1,111 days in Rikers, despite never being convicted of a crime. Turning down nine plea deals, Browder refused to admit to something he didn't do just so he could go home. With his case brought to court and delayed multiple times, Browder spent over 800 days in solitary confinement, where his mental health rapidly deteriorated. Indeed, the episodes dealing with his time in Rikers, and the experience and effects of long-term solitary confinement, are almost too horrific to bear. Were this fiction, the litany of abuses he suffers, and the details of how the system failed him, would be rejected as ridiculous, with his nightmare continuing even upon his release; in two separate incidents, he was shot and stabbed, and was later sectioned, as he became increasingly paranoid and unstable. Telling the parallel story of the anguish of his doting mother, if I had one criticism, it would be that the narrative is stretched too thin. Much like The Keepers (2017), there isn't enough material here to warrant this many episodes, and it does lapse into repetition at times. Nevertheless, this is harrowing stuff; highly recommended.8/10

jurajspisak-18132 Interesting story that could be told in 2-3 episodes. Full of edits and repeated scenes, not good film-making.

funnygirlnell Spoiler Alert------I watched this documentary because I remembered hearing about this young man but did not know the details of his story. As the story began, my first question was, "what happened to him?" After a few episodes, it became clear to me that Kalief Browder was no longer with us. This sad truth broke my heart. The story is sorrowful because it is a true story of a bright young man who did not have to die. Our justice system does not function the way it should for everyone to receive the justice they so greatly deserve and the promise the system itself makes. I rated the film 10 stars because I will never forget Kalief and the details of what happened to him.

Kenyae Kofi This document series was very crazy. I personally have been racially profiled! This series shows that America is a joke and needs to be ready and willing to progress as a nation and wrongful convictions is no way to go about it. This also shows that we not only need a better jail system but a better government system. Kalief Browder was completely destroyed after this mistreatment over a damn book bag that may have or may not have been robbed by him. The system needs to be changed to a spot where we make criminals change as individuals to sane people if possible and that we don't arrest people for no unlawful reasons. When watching this series I was terrified and I felt like I was watching a suspense or horror series where someone was going to die. I don't think anyone should go through this and hopefully the system gets better to help people instead of making them worse off then what they were.
