Teefa in Trouble (2018)

A best friend that will stick with you to the end, on a group trip from hell, is someone to die for.

Documented human suffering is never easy to view or read about and is understandably triggering for many people, but it can be educational, and education is a key to change. An overwhelming amount queer people worldwide (and in my own country) have it far worse than I could imagine, and documentaries such as Welcome to Chechnya bring issues to light that certain groups of people would never see.

For those that are unaware, the trailer for the new Civil Rights movie Till has been out and it's absolutely amazing for all to see.

The beating heart of this film is the relationship between Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse.

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian. 

Based on the best-selling novel by Angie Thomas and a maxim of the late Tupac Shakur.
