The Lack of It

About This Movie

The Lack of It dives deep into the intersection of mobility and social issues, particularly how they shape identities in African American communities. It's this raw, intimate portrayal of two women who are not just storytellers but advocates for change. The pacing feels unhurried, allowing you to soak in the weight of their narratives—there's a palpable sense of history woven through their experiences. The documentary does well to highlight the Safe Bus's legacy, a once-thriving black-owned transport system, shedding light on the complexities of racial dynamics. The visuals are straightforward, but the emotional weight is carried by the performances of the women, who deliver personal and collective histories with both grace and urgency. It’s distinctive in how it tackles a subject often overlooked in mainstream discussions.
