The film is grounded in a true story, focusing on one woman’s cleverness, tenacity, and resilience without shoehorning in modern identity politics. Characterization is driven by personal merit and circumstance rather than contemporary representation checklists.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke
