About This Movie

I'm Not an Activist (2023) dives into a pretty raw and urgent reality. It captures this intense moment where a group of New Yorkers, fed up with brutal anti-Asian attacks, form the Dragon Combat Club. The film has a gritty atmosphere that feels very real, and the pacing often mirrors the urgency of the situation. You get a sense of community and resilience, but there's a palpable tension throughout. The practical effects in a few self-defense demonstrations are surprisingly engaging, and the way the individuals share their stories adds depth to the narrative. It’s not just about fighting back, but also about standing together. Definitely gives you something to think about in terms of activism and self-defense.
