Top Twenty Documentaries Black People Should See

[UnderMiSensi]

I forgot to mention the Documentary called "There is no tomorrow" a peak oil doc and the it issues it illustrates is the reason why I feel that getting my alternative start-up to the point of success is a duty not only to myself and my family, but also to the people who are in dire need of energy and the next generation. Here's the vidhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IipwQryubIE

Some of these docs after I watch I have to go and quarantine myself...i cant risk runnin into white folks. Instant body.

Flashbacks to watchin Rosewood as a shorty.

Here's another good movie that Black people(hell everyone) should watch it's called "The Corporation"


As powerful as corporations are, that should be more incentive for black people to start them for their own agenda, to supply thier own needs and get thier own lobbyists to enact change, but the takes unity, planning and organization so...............

The Corporation is phenomenal....Orwell Rolls In His Grave is another one that is excellent.

I got done watching the Classified X doc with Van Peoples. He elaborated more then I thought I knew about Blacks and Hollywood. Good drops. Looking forward to watching some of the suggested docs/lectures.

Im bout to watch 500 years later. I think a good one is African American lives. I also think the black in Latin America series by Louis gates Jr is a great series too. It taught me a lot about African heritage in Latin America. Great thread.

Add 'Hoop Dreams' to the list. On the surface, about basketball, but it's really a socioeconomic outlook on black families in the early 90's through the lens of basketball dreams. It's my favorite film of all time. Get something new out of it everytime I watch.

 

[Kushington]

i watch documentaries all the time....

@Amotekun I just finished catching the first 30 minutes or so of the Naked Truth. How much of that do you believe is actually true (in regards to your own research? He drew a lot of similarities between Jesus and Horus but didn't provide scripture reference. Idk, maybe the documentary is to get niggas started with their own research.. Cuz its definitely got me intrigued.

 

[Amotekun]

@perfect which one is the Naked Truth?

Jesus is an amalgamation of many things....

His story is cobbled from various myths

and his image is that of Serapis
