young men at the Nickel Academy, a juvenile reform school in Jim Crow-era Tallahassee, Florida, endured cruel and unusual punishments and were subjected to horrific abuse by the school's staff.
In the race for the prestigious Best Film award, one contender stands out as the least known, particularly in Italy. This film is "Hale County This Morning, This Evening," a feature film directed by RaMell Ross, set in 1962 Tallahassee, Florida.
The film is based on Colson Whitehead's novel and tells an intense and committed story of friendship. At the heart of the narrative is Elwood, an African-American student who finds himself unjustly accused of stealing a car and sent to the Nickel Academy, a boys' reformatory strikingly similar to a maximum-security prison.
The Nickel Academy is a world ruled by corruption and violence, a stark reflection of the societal injustices of the time. Despite its imperfections, the film is deeply moving, offering a poignant portrayal of the human spirit's resilience in the face of adversity.
Elwood befriends Jack within the walls of the Nickel Academy, and their bond forms the emotional core of the film. The translation for the English language has been carefully crafted to ensure the film's message remains clear and impactful.
