I think they got a Nat Turner movie set for November tho I may see that one, but I would like for a Haitian Rebeloution to be released. A documentary on the UPRisings and Revolutions that took place from N,S,C-America and the Caribbean would be great tho.

On Hidden Colors tho I would hv to watch them again to specify but it did even had the streets talking tho. Lots of ones enjoyed them and some things from it

Nat Turner? That should be interesting. Hope they are honest and accurate...

The one on Garvey should be interesting as well. Looking forward to it.

I would also love to see one on Toussaint Louverture! Queen Nanny. Boukman. Yaa Asantewaa. Queen Nzinga....and the list goes on!

please permit me to say this....any and all movies not made by us or financially supported by us, acted by us, directed by us, casted by us, shown in our movie houses....is to be considered propaganda...now what would make anyone think that this system which is hailed to contain so much evil and deception, as spoken by many of us, what would make you think that this same system will allow you to know the truth about yourself?....be it by movies, be it by books, be it by whatever means....are we so naive to believe that our downpressors will even allow us to have a piece of mind knowing that they have just showed us some "truth"?...do any of you actually believe that these people will do something so meaningful?.....i ask you this...are u that naive?

Stick a pin!!!!

We are talking about movies re: slavery and the image portrayed of black history in film

With that being said, any response dealing wih "us" this and "us" that - it is definately relevant to ascertain whether this "us" = the african diaspora who share the history of slavery. ....... Its all about context. If I ask a Question relating specifically to black affairs (like who wants to repatriate to africa?) then anyone may be welcome to put in they two cents but for purposes of context, the background/identitity or race of the responder is relevant! RG, and VDR are not new to the site and already know dem African, and most of this site already has a general idea of the background of the regular memebers.........

Still, and I think you were making the same point: We (BLACK RACE) have too much emphasis on "they" in terms of film and media portrayals of us. Lets not put misguided faith into white hollywood to tell an african history.
