Daddy, Daddy USA

About This Movie

So, 'Daddy, Daddy USA' is this intriguing documentary where Pierre Hodgson really digs into race relations in America, but it’s not just that. He weaves in his father's journalistic past, which adds this personal layer that feels pretty raw. The pacing is contemplative, giving you time to absorb the weight of the topics he's tackling. You get this atmospheric feel—urban landscapes, mixed with personal anecdotes—that makes it feel grounded. There’s this honesty in the interviews too, where people share their experiences without filters. It’s distinctive because it doesn't shy away from the complexities, instead it embraces them, and Hodgson’s personal connection makes it resonate. Not your typical documentary vibe, for sure.
