Primary
The film maintains a neutral stance by balancing themes of community preservation against gentrification (left-leaning) with strong emphasis on individual responsibility, small business entrepreneurship, and traditional community values (right-leaning). Its solution champions internal community strength and individual choice rather than a specific political ideology.
The movie demonstrates clear diversity through its predominantly Black cast, which is central to its narrative set within a specific community. The story focuses on the experiences of these characters without explicitly recasting traditionally white roles or presenting a critical portrayal of traditional identities.
Secondary
