Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

In our view, 'The Fear of 13' is a documentary-style narrative focused purely on the compelling personal story of Nick Yarris. There’s no sense of identity politics overshadowing the actual storytelling, and the film allows the human drama to drive the story.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

There is no subversion of family, tradition, or religion. The film is essentially a personal, real-life account of a man’s experience with the justice system, devoid of the typical ‘woke’ cultural revisionism or ideological bending.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

The film doesn’t push any overt ideological message, nor are traditional views villainized or mocked. Its focus remains squarely on one man’s lived experience, steering clear of groupthink or forced homogeneity in worldview.
