The Inspection

A young, gay Black man with few options for his future, joins 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 deep-seated prejudice and the 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. Based on a true story.
