I do feel that I need to watch this dilm again more  carefully, but I do remember hearing about things that I was unfortunately already familiar with, such as the disproportionately high amount of African-Americans in prison

I found the statistics frightening. Its always nice to see something like this coming to light to spread awareness but it makes me wonder what people are actually doing to fix this problem.

I was shocked by all these statistical numbers. It is  so real that I feel race issues more directly. --Lin

(I can't find my comment so I'm rewriting it.) I first watched the film last year and at the time I had no expectations for the film. I think it is a very effective and informational documentary.

I found it very interesting, specifically the statistic that 25% of the world's prisoners being from the United States. I think that this documentary is good at illustrating

I think the documentary film is helpful. My initial reaction is that the production shows real situations for audiences. - Yucong Li

Going over Birth of the Nation was really hard to watch for some of the scenes and the interviews that came with them, but it was really interesting to see how art impacted reality

I feel like with controversial movies like this it can be harmful to have rhetoric, but this film's rhetoric felt justified

Aiden- I just felt extremely sad and pessimistic about American society. Still in the past.

I thought it was sad how something that should have been liberating instead led to a system that still oppresses people of color.

It was interesting and eye opening when I first watched it. The emotional power is still there even after I have watched it.

I would say the film was not a great shock to me unfortunately at first, I would say because I am a fan of artists like Mos Def who have discussed this topic for such a long time. However, it was a good motivator for signing petitions and it definitely helped with my decision to protest this past summer.

Quite disturbing how it is the norm to have a high amount of black people be in prison. Even now knowing how they are treated throughout the entire process it is just degrading.

I had originally seen the documentary when it first came out, but this second watch was probably more important. It is so impactful to see the state of things four years ago vs now and how it has just blown up even more. The portion where they spoke about needing to use our phones and shock our citizens was wild because we know what we do about George Floyd and Eric Garner
