The Inspection

Directed by Elegance Bratton

A young, Black gay man, rejected by his mother and facing a bleak future, joins the Marines, determined to succeed in a system stacked against him.
The Inspection draws directly from writer-director Elegance Bratton’s own experiences, giving this gay military drama unusual personal force. Jeremy Pope is outstanding as a young gay man who joins the Marines after being rejected by his mother, finding both hostility and unexpected forms of belonging.
