The FAB 5. They set off a lotta shit and didn't get paid

 

[2stepz_ahead]

the revolution in haiti and how the dominicans think they are not black

 

[_Goldie_]

Dro droppin gems this morning? Yea, both of those would be ill af. Of course a Nat turner or marcus garvey flick would be good to see.

 

[Antlerz]

I wouldn't mind a George Washington Carver movie

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

The Great Debaters & Akeelah & The Bee didn't flop though

 

[Matt-]

maybe one about modern day slavery. like what goes on in africa today. but that would probably flop, seeing as how people only get behind the atrocities that happed several generations ago and they don't have to carry the burden of doing nothing about what is happening today.

 

[MrCrookedLetter]

But to answer the thread, I would like to see a Musa I of Mali film

 

[Bodhi]

Nat Turner

I'm sure Harriet Jacobs would be a good story. Black female slave, Hollywood likes victimized women stories.

Marcus Mosiah Garvey

i see historical movies the same way i want to see documentaries and such....i want it to be about an event/person that i previously knew nothing about. like the ernie davis movie. didn't know too much about him, and i really didn't think it was a great movie, but it was interesting because pretty much everything was new to me in the film.
