CGiii Comment

The first half is a relentless tour of places where Deuntay Diggs was abused. It's horrific and - woefully - repetitive.

The final 10 minutes or so...well, they really should have been cut, the praise he receives is tantamount to divinization.

There is an uncomfortable element of self-promotion with this film...was it made to promote his book? Or, is it truly cathartic? Let's hope the latter.

Trauma to Triumph...

Beneath the Scar is a raw, gripping documentary on Deuntay Diggs' journey from hardship to triumph, tackling abuse, faith, love, sexuality, and race.
