    Shatara Michelle FORD 2019 USA Fiction color 82min DCP
    ★ 2019 Black Star Film Festival

    Renesha, a black woman in Austin, is victimized by sexual assault. When she tries to report it, she finds herself lost in the health care and criminal justice system, and unintentionally pushed away by the white partner who has always stood by her side. Part psychological horror, part realist drama, the film is set against the backdrop of our national discussion about an inequitable health system, #MeToo, and race relations in America.
