I saw this film when it was first released 33 years ago and I was shocked...yet eerily filled with hope. I watched it recently and it shows how far we've come and not necessarily in a good way. How little we've grown in this world socially and racially. It doesn't matter where this type of viciousness takes place, we should all be ashamed. This is a vivid, intense, and heartbreaking film with intelligence, strength, endurance, and heart.
