    Hidden Gem
    This film is a slice-of-life "coming of age" film about a boy called Davyeon who lives in a black community in rural Arkansas. Not many people seem know about this film which is sad because it is an truly a masterpiece of its genre. Not many films can capture a true authentic feeling of rural life in many black communities across the United States.

    Although the film focuses on the character Davyeon for most part, it does not neglect to show the lives and struggles of other young black men surrounding him in the community. The messaging of the film in regards to gang life and the struggles facing many young black men in America and worldwide was handled and conveyed masterfully.

    Every element of this film feels genuine and well executed, especially the acting and cinematography. There is also some really good symbolism being conveyed throughout the film that may go over some peoples head.

    Overall it is a wonderful film that is a must see if you enjoy rural slice-of-life type movies.
