As Werner Herzog said, many documentaries are “disguised feature films”. But some are simply a long -film length, not provocation, to provide information. Or, they want to provoke, but not about the story, through reports.
strike This is one of the latter type, but this does not reduce the power of the director Joebill Munoz and Lucas Guilkey Etch on the screen. Both them and their photographers, Victor Tadashi Suarez, try to give a less timely sense of history. MUNOZ and GUILKEY try to talk about their stories in a world that has grown terrifyingly growing on the guilty crime of guilty.
The documentary is related to the strike of hunger in 2011 and 2013, and is caused by prisoners in the largest security prison. strike See the largest security prison, a prisoner in the Pelican Vote State Prison, a completely lonely confinement cell or a SHU (security housing unit). People who are active or read about the decayed US system will not doubt that the United States is against the United Nations Mandela’s rules.
Pelican prisoners and other Supermax Prions, which flourished during the “drug war”, spent decades. It is surprising to everyone that the requirements that are satisfied to be thrown into the SHU are at best ambiguous, in the worst racial. In many cases, it is one of the few states that has been separated from prison as a liberal mecca in California. It is a unique and unique American concept that makes an overcrowded prison as good.
What Munos and Gilky are trying to do strike Avoid calcified American conscience and shows prisoners as a violent criminal, but as a person who is treated as inhuman, but the system does not rehabilitate, but violent criminals. Build a method designed to create. One prisoner says, “It’s like a prison in prison.” In cooperation with the editor, Daniela Kilos, they incorporate the current prisoners, reach prison in their current life, and eventually describe the tragedy that led to a wake -up hell. Masu.
strike Munoz, GUILKEY, and QUIROZ indicate how the gears of the system tried to rebel, but are most persuasive when they find an attempt to fix the tide. This is in contrast to people like California’s Secretary of California, Scott Carnan, and shows the typical way of thinking of the powerful people, although they are sympathetic. He gives a little and expects a lot.
The most impressive aspect of hunger in the pelican bay is to spread out of prison walls. The male group has begun a group of prison, overcoming their tribalism and demanding non -violent changes. To some extent, how did the prisoners communicate and give a message through the ventilation and toilet pipes to some extent?
strike To convey a very specific story, you need to cover a lot of grounds. As a result, sometimes it feels like a lesson of the truncated history. The price that inmates such as Jack Morris will pay for a safe space to convey their story. The genuine and vulnerability of the inmate’s story strike And a blue photo to achieve the behavioralism under the compulsory. Munoz and Guilakey indicate that there is no voice for the powerful people to speak out.
Look at strike In 2025, see the images of the members of the Democratic Congress grilling the director of the California PrisonLike an alien experience. Does the Democratic Party show the spine and use the election power? Who is this party?
still, strike It doesn’t make you feel the range of the strike. It does a wonderful job to let us know, but fouls the ball in resonating points. I think Munoz, GUILKEY, and SUAREZ do not fully use the ability to talk about the camera, provoke, and interrogate. Instead, they use it as a recording device for re -establishment, 60 minutes Style reporge. As a result, they lack fertile soil for emotional life they are trying to express to take root.
However, the use of documentary videos and how Suarez and Quiros use photos of their family to strengthen their personal stories of prisoners is a great report. Ultimately, what is it? strike IS: A solid report on all the forgotten cases that attracted the world when it happened. Remember that there is hope in each other, even if everything looks lost.
The emotional and intellectuals of strikes are the prisoners themselves, their saga. what strike It may be lacking in techniques and craftsmanship. It is more than compensated for the raw mankind contained in these segments. End of strike It is especially sweet because it connects two different stories in a way that you feel torn from a short novel of the Raymond Carber.
strike It has been released to a terrible social political landscape. The return of Trump, cruelty, disguised political spirit, and California is overwhelmingly banned from banning slavery in the national constitution because the state means that prisoners can no longer be recruited by fire fire fire. Voted. This bureaucratic non -compromise and innovative foolish swirls dare to claim that even prisoners have constitutional rights and bravery, and are the basic human sense. It is worth it.
The image is due to independent lenses and Latin public broadcasting.
