Jason's Letter was a very, very powerful movie. It was very moving, touching and impactful as it dealt with the reality of police brutality that is negatively affecting African American males, families and ultimately communities. The movie was real, raw and relevant as it tackled the sometimes willfully ignored issue of the abuse of power that has been demonstrated by some police officers in the African American community. The Director, Terrance Tykeem, demonstrated courage by taking on the challenge of making a film like this, especially considering the sensitivity of the subject matter. By having well known African American parents as part of the cast, who have been negatively affected by this issue in their personal lives, took the film to another level. The movie conveys a level of honesty and authenticity by showing how an innocent child comes up with what he feels is the solution to the problem at hand by writing a letter based on actual statistics. The acting was phenomenal and they did such a great job. This movie is very, very impactful and a must see!
