Heatwave Review

I found the film Heatwave very captivating because it truly captured all the emotions that was found in the Watts Riots during that time. The film captured all the oppression the black men were facing. This film was very good because the conflict was accurately represented through the plot; for example, the physical conflict in the riots and internal conflicts in Bob's career as a reporter. Bob Richardson's conflict shined light on how the truth tends to be interpreted many ways, but in the end there is only one truth. This film showed me that as a journalist we cannot let our emotions shape the story a certain direction- the only direction is the direction the truth leads you.
