The film got my attention because of the poem (Islands by Yusef Komunyakaa) voiced over the images the beginning. After a few minutes however the movie became confusing and disengaging. Apparently it was zigzagging betwixt South London and Chicago's South Side. This I got from IMDb's synopsis because it really wasn't at all clear from the film. According to the synopsis, this film is an investigation. Investigation? Never having heard of the director I found myself making (internally) encouraging and sympathetic noises as I felt pity for the maker of such a trite effort. The film makes absolutely no attempt to communicate. It's not even shallow.
