🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Kieran Fitzgerald constructs the narrative like a forensic puzzle, relying on a meticulous timeline and conflicting testimonies. The film explores not the single gunshot, but the pervasive context that enabled it—an atmosphere of fear, institutional failure, and legal ambiguity.
What lingers after is a profound sense of justice eroded by distant policy. This is investigative filmmaking that insists a name be remembered. — MovieFinder Editorial
