Overview
When a riot breaks out in Milwaukee, America's most segregated city, medical transport driver Vic is torn between his promise to get a group of elderly Russians to a funeral and his desire to help Tracy, a young black woman with ALS.
I was shocked at just how profound this movie is. The movie is set over the course of a few hours in Milwaukee. The male lead is someone that obviously has a big heart and is struggling to move forward in his life despite being pulled backwards by cultural and familial expectations. And that is where the movie really shines – it navigates family, culture, race and economic class struggles while not beating you over the head with any of the themes like other movies (Crash comes to mind).
