The Inspection
2005. Seeking a new life, Ellis French enrols in the US Marines, but being gay and black adds extra pressures to the already degrading training.
A young gay black man, rejected by his mother and with few options for his future, decides to join the US Marines, doing whatever it takes to succeed in a system that would cast him aside.
But even as he battles deep-seated prejudice and the gruelling routines of basic training, he finds unexpected camaraderie, strength, and support in this new community, giving him a hard-earned sense of belonging that will shape his identity and forever change his life.
