    I have a personal interest in this film. I watched it. It left me with a difficult feeling. Then I watched it again. I am not sure how to feel about it.

    Moving film, really well done, watch if you want to feel inspired. Great direction, love the street level very of the city, very human and personal. You can tell everyone involved cares about the city and the people.

    Great documentary, moving and inspiring. Beautiful shots. Classy and creative, although the editing was a bit choppy. Baltimore gets some much-deserved love!! Well done, I recommend this film.

    I used to live in BMore, that city sure needs a little love and it is getting some from HBO and Ms. Sohn. Great to see the activism and real issues getting some attention for a moment rather than the nonstop twitterverse.

    The film acknowledges its subjects as people, rather than simply a stand-in for the movements they are a part of. ... The value of the film lies in showing that the efforts are being made to promote a common understanding.

    It’s a powerful film because it’s a human one. Sohn concentrates on faces, seen often in close-up.

    Excellent you-are-there film that takes viewers — and Baltimore — from despair to hope.
