It's a serious film that could touch anyone haunted by the loss of a loved one. But the movie hadn't the ultimate dramatic impact to earn one of Cannes' most esteemed prizes...
...discussion of instances of racial profiling is the concept of racial humiliation. The black professor who was stopped in the Harvard Yard by HUPD was racially humiliated in a way that perhaps no white Harvard faculty member would ever be. More importantly, however, the students, who are much younger, were humiliated and angered by the actions of the police who interrogated them for confirmation of the professor’s status. HUPD has never apologized to the black professor or the students...
