This film is an interview of Justice Thomas. It's not a film exploring different points of view. It's very valuable because interviews with Supreme Court justices are rare, especially with him. Further, few interviews are this long and offer so much of a memoir. It is very personal There is something I don't get about Justice Thomas, though. I understood his problem with school busing, and his thoughts on South Boston. I can understand migrating away from theories of equity that don't work or have big downsides. But as a former Democrat, somehow he made his way to opposing even a minimum wage in this country. The pendulum swings to extremes in Justice Thomas's life. Minimum wage offends him - think about that. He admired the nuns from his grade school but not their views on minimum wage, apparently I was fascinated by his story and he's really smart, of course, but I'm not a fan of this justice, nor his wife, who is a public figure in her own right, nor their politics. In the end, I am not sure where he is at. He seems to have stopped himself in an angry place and it's not clear when - at the EEOC? When his grandfather died? When his marriage broke up? I don't know. but I am not sure he has much affection for the country, our form of government, the people. I think he hates us, it, the whole package and it's unfortunate someone is appointed to the Supreme Court at such a point in his thinking. He said something about the greatest racial obstacle to his personal rise was "The Liberal." that caricatured him during his confirmation hearings, but he must know that were conservatives opposed, they would do the same thing. This is not an innate quality of liberals. A note about the filmmaker, MICHAEL PACK. I subtracted one star from this review because of him, as punishment for his behavior as Trump's pick to head the VOA. He was an enemy of journalistic freedom at VOA. He was happy to serve as a handmaid to FASCISM. He deeply offended those of us who oppose censorship, and love the free press, the First Amendment, and freedom itself. Shame on him.
