"The Inspection"

A young, gay Black man with few options for his future decides to join the Marines, willing to do whatever it takes to prove himself to his estranged mother and triumph in a system that would otherwise cast him aside. But even as he battles prejudice and rigor of basic training, he finds unexpected camaraderie, strength, and support in this new community, giving him a hard-won sense of belonging that will shape his identity and forever change his life. Rated R. 2022
