The film is structured around his extensive notebooks, which blend various media clippings and reflections. It's got this raw, almost intimate atmosphere, where you can feel the weight of history and personal narrative interwoven. The pacing is contemplative, allowing viewers to really sit with the material and absorb the themes of identity and representation.

The film’s visual approach and thematic depth make it distinctively compelling.

Apex is an intriguing piece for collectors, though it remains somewhat elusive in terms of widespread release. Initially, it was presented in limited screenings, making physical copies quite scarce. The film has sparked interest not only due to Jafa's artistic credentials but also its thought-provoking content. There are a few formats out there, but none have become overly common, which keeps the collector community engaged and seeking this title for its rare insights and artistic value.
