This isn’t a movie or television program; it's a recording of the Broadway stage production with the same title. I will say that this theatrical work seems geared toward audiences already familiar with the historical context. That likely leaves out younger viewers, given how public education has suffered due to years of Republican budget cuts—it's genuinely shocking how little some instructors are paid. As someone involved in acting and interested in history, I really enjoyed this play and regret that I missed seeing it live on Broadway. There are several reasons for my nine-out-of-ten rating, primarily because I’m evaluating it as a stage production, not a film adaptation. Initially, the inventiveness was striking; there's no traditional spoken dialogue, which is quite rare for musicals. The music relies almost entirely on hip-hop and rap styles, with one segment even incorporating a slam battle format. The staging itself is well done, and I appreciated the clever use of a turntable. I was very impressed by the intricate "rewind" sequence. Whether or not it’s completely true to historical events is debatable—after all, isn't history often shaped by those in power? Regardless, it tells a compelling story; it has political undertones and manages to be both entertaining and emotionally resonant.
