WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

C.J. (Duncan-Smith) and Sebastian (Crichlow) are two high school friends and science prodigies who spend their days developing a homemade invention that allows people to time travel. However, when Sebastian’s unarmed older brother Calvin (Bradley) is shot and killed by police officers, they decide to bring forward testing for their device and use it to travel back to the moment before he was killed…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Spike Lee produces this profoundly original approach to a very real issue, kind of like The Hate U Give by way of Back to the Future.
