Quote:
"Compared to similar Black British documentaries about police-Black community relations [...] there is very little direct critique of the police in Home Feeling. [...] Instead, Home Feeling prefers to indict police officers and administration with a strategic use of their own words, and to counter racist image-making by constituting the police—rather than Black youth—as an unspoken, ever present threat throughout."
-- Cameron Bailey
