Our take
I Came By follows a young man who breaks into wealthy homes and discovers evidence of a powerful man's crimes. Home invasion, attacks, and police corruption keep the tension high, while the guide flags f-words, racist slurs, and references to suicide and pills. We put it at around 16 and up for the violence and sustained stalking fear.
Uplifting themes
Speaking truth to power motivates Jay, yet methods remain illegal and risky Jay shows courage; mentors are mixed between allies and enablers Sparks discussion on graffiti law, elite corruption, and when to involve real authorities
Story (may spoil tone)
A rebellious young graffiti artist, who targets the homes of the wealthy elite, discovers a shocking secret that leads him on a journey endangering himself and those closest to him.

Talk after watching
- Jay thinks tagging holds the powerful accountable. When does vigilante art cross into real danger?
- The film links class, race, and police trust. What systems would you want to fix without breaking laws?
