Can't Take That Away From Me

About This Movie

Can't Take That Away From Me is a raw, unsettling documentary that digs deep into the tragic murder of Paul Broussard in 1991. The film manages to capture the grim reality of hate crimes with an unflinching lens, blending real interviews and archival footage to construct a haunting narrative. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of the subject matter to settle in, which can feel heavy at times. There’s an emotional authenticity in the interviews—people recounting trauma, loss, and the ripple effects of violence. It’s not flashy; there are no grand visuals or over-the-top production values, but it’s this straightforward approach that makes it distinctive. The performances, if you can call them that, are genuine, raw, and often hard to watch, which speaks to the horror of the real events depicted.
