View More"Pull of gravity" is a documentary dealing with the destinies of young men being released from prison and trying to adopt to their old neighborhoods without being arrested again.The film clearly shows that in some areas of the United States, it is a really tough challenge to stay within the legal borders in first place and to change life for the better after a prison sentence in the second. In neighborhoods, where job perspectives are depressing and where the only real opportunity to make money seems to involve drug-dealing, a different approach would be needed than just criminalizing whole communities even if they don't engage in criminal acts. There's a lot of support and opportunities required to really give people there a new perspective to earn a living without setting them up for the risk of being arrested or killed. The movie doesn't really offer solutions for that or anything alike but it clearly shows where most of the problems are situated.All in all this is an important film with an important message that especially people living in the states should pay attention to, to reflect on whether a harder line on criminals will really solve the problems.
