I love that sweet, sweet look of actual film.

The shot of the little black boy watching white people play in the pool is heartbreaking.

I'll be honest I wasn't super excited for this because it looks like something impossible to turn into a film but this teaser trailer is doing it for me.

I'm super curious how they'll adapt the book into a film, had no idea it was under production, but this teaser looks promising

Casting cop simp Jon Bernthal is a choice.
