    has riveting storytelling. I shrieked out loud at one point as I learned about William Ford and his loving family. It is a must watch and it also gives an up close look at how structural racism directly impacts Black families.

    I love Strong Island so much because it tells the multidimensional story of a beautiful, compassionate black man in a way I’ve never seen before.
