Top Twenty Documentaries Black People Should See

[jono]

b.)Zeitgeist- Documentary in three parts uncovering unbelievable lies and propaganda about religion, politics and power; a must see!

5. Goodbye Uncle Tom-This unbelievable docu-drama was banned in America since 1973. If you think violence erupted when Roots and Mississippi Burning came out, Imagine what would have happened if Black folks had seen this. The French directors used the actual diaries,captains logs, articles and books of that era to bring your slave masters back to life. Unbelievable!

foreshure .... infact all three of the Zeitgeist docu's are pretty good ... but both of these are muuuuuuuuust see's ... that goodbye uncle tom is some ill ass shit bruh .... fucked me up watching all of that ...

i'd like to add...

1. Hidden Colors: The Untold History Of People Of Aboriginal, Moor, and African Descent

2. Hidden Colors 2: The Triumph of Melanin

3. The Black Power Mixtape

4. The Flaw - A look at the recession and financial collapse of 2008

5. Ethos - Simular To Zeitgeist.... Very Dope

Yeah that film is dope.
