Nothing is more heartbreaking than hearing a Mother or Fathers cries when they lose a child! This movie was brilliant ❤❤

[@chrisplummer8706]

Brilliant short film that gives a great insight into what it must be like for families who lose a child to knife crime. Thank you!

My name is Jermaine Wong. My Son Keelen Wong was murdered on Tuesday 3rd October 2023. He was the oldest of 6 siblings. This film has touch me in a profound way. It wasn't just the superb acting, excellent cinematography and brilliant Direction. It's the fact that you have given insight to an often misunderstood side of grief that sometime struggles to release tears. I'm a filmmaker working on a project with a similar sentiment. I would love to connect with you. Thanks for the fantastic work.

Great post once again from Million Youth media big ups

[@lisacampbell-qe7bh]

Ky's silence was as heart-breaking as his mother's screams. Powerful acting and a moving story that sadly, is all too-real for too many.

[@SpencerAndersonn94]

Powerful film. Gripped me from start to finish! 👏🏾❤️

[@MYMofficial]

Couldn't agree more. Beautifully shot too, big up the whole team!

[@4DeuceFilms]

The cinematography was amazing in this one, the Gaffer did their thing here. Would've loved to see more of a connection between the brothers, but this was well done with a well-represented black family.

[@gisar.6539]

Kofi Stone at the beginning was a solid song choice. Really touching short film

[@Shehroze]

Wow what a powerful, moving, hard hitting film. Fantastic work to George and the whole team!

[@natalieoliver3215]

The mothers scream at the beginning was heartbreaking 😢it made me cry!! I wish this wasn't the reality for 1000s of families each year, but unfortunately it is!! And we need change now!

[@heebieejeebieeeez]

Two minutes in and this is already a banger!!!

[@ingridmcfarlane8348]

this was a truly brilliant film! One that should be in classrooms everywhere teens gather, to help them heal and to help them keep others from such pain. MYM, idk who you are, but may you reap rewards for this

[@MK-qb3rl]

Great film, insightful and powerful, keep up the good work.💯💯👍🏽

[@synxz214]

[@midnightrebel1927]

I never had parents to give me any sort of prep talk That last part when the dad said to the son really hit me heart

Side subject Feminist perspective Why does the mother have to beg for the father to help her with the care/emotional work ? What if she wasn't there ? How would it have been ?

[@marlondiedrick]

Forget all of that. dad wanted to stay righteous. Forget your feminism thinking. Leave that alone. Not the place for generations curse.
