About
The Final Insult is Charles Burnett’s compassionate exploration of the homelessness crisis in Los Angeles. The film follows Box Brown (Ayuko Babu), a bank worker who, thanks to the very economic systems he works to implement, finds himself living in his car. Seamlessly blending documentary footage with dramatic performance and poetic voiceover, Burnett treads a disorienting path between truth and fiction. This observant and provocative film highlights the cruel ironies of American life.
