This film was thought provoking and will definitely spark a much needed conversation on family, balance and responsibility.
The highlight for me was when Tristan asks his father who took care of Dr. King and Malcolm X’s families after they gave their lives for the cause.
Watching Tristan challenging his Dad in the end of the movie, asking his father to take him with him was PERFECT!
Tristan, thank you for sharing your talent with us ! I have an 8yr old nephew that I’m going to rewatch this with.
