The Final Comedown

The film is an examination of racism in the United States and depicts a shootout between a radical black nationalist group and the police, with the backstory leading up to the shootout told through flashbacks.

My take

A raw, unflinching examination of systemic racism and Black resistance in 1970s America. This is heavy, politically charged cinema that demands your full attention—a film that confronts rather than comforts.
