Ratings and reviews

After listening to the Jordan Harbinger podcast interview with Erik Audé I was expecting much better but the podcast interview is actually better than this movie and free. I recommend you check that out in place of this.

This is a movie that will absolutely make you appreciate your life more. If you're in a dark place for whatever reason, then watch what this man went through and how he was able to still smile.

That's the life of a lot of black men in United States. US jails are filled for profit with innocent black young men and they forced to plea guilty.
