The Inspection2022
Ellis French is a young, gay Black man, rejected by his mother and with few options for his future, decides to join the Marines, doing whatever it takes to succeed in a system that would cast him aside. But even as he battles deep-seated prejudice and the grueling routines of basic training, he finds unexpected camaraderie, strength, and support in this new community, giving him a hard-earned sense of belonging that will shape his identity and forever change his life.

Bratton, who has an eye for compelling framing and unexpected beauty, has made something more complicated than a treatise against the power structures enshrined in the military, though he’s very aware of them.
Written and directed by Elegance Bratton, and based on his own experience, a tough film on being Gay and homophobia in Black America and the Marine Corp. Jeremy Pope gives a wonderful performance.
The Inspection isn’t a perfect movie, but there are times when it feels like it’s tantalizingly close.
