Since we have a thread that was made as it pertains to "Root Approved Music" (http://www.thecoli.com/threads/root-approved-music.316879/) , I figure why not have one as it pertains to Movies & Recommendations

Just watched "The Spook Who Sat by the Door" again last week. Movie was so ahead of its time that its scary. A lot of the dialogue could fit today with the atmosphere we are living in.

It was too revolutionary. The FBI banned that movie when it first came out.

hehehehehehehehehe
say goodbye uncle tom
Repped everyone who mentioned Spook. Thats real shyt
To be honest that and Sankofa are the only films in this thread I could personally recommend. The mainstream/ big budget films were funded by white people so it's not controlled by our own will.
I believe the biggest mistake I see people make is referring to historical events via filmography.
""If you wanna learn abou, Slavery, Malcolm X, Black Panthers watch the film _________"
People forget how factual events in films are sensationalized and exaggerated to provide entertainment to the viewer. Hence the term BASED on true events
We suffer in the Black Independant film market, shyts a crying shame. Even in the UK we used to have loads of Black shows on TV in the 80s and 90s. We had one in the 00s and now zero. As far as Black British films, its the typical shyt. They're only ever gangsta/ small time crimial bullshyt

Bruh y'all have to watch this movie "Quilombo" (1984)...it used to be on Netflix but now on YouTube. Its amazing IMO takes place in Brazil.
"Palmares is a 17th-century quilombo, a settlement of escaped slaves in northeast Brazil. In 1650, plantation slaves revolt and head for the mountains where they find others led by the aged seer, Acotirene. She anoints one who becomes Ganga Zumba, a legendary king."

Description: A self-absorbed Black American fashion model on a photo shoot in Africa is spiritually transported back to a plantation in the West Indies where she experiences first-hand the physical and psychic horrors of chattel slavery, and eventually the redemptive power of community and rebellion as she becomes a member of a freedom-seeking Maroon colony.

Concerning VIolence
Decolonizer
Touki Bouki by Sengalese film director Mambety.
Arthouse road film classic that's a poetic meditation on postcolonialism, individuality, and heritage. Ending is GOAT.
The scenes in this film flow like a poem with a lot of symbolism and dream-likeness.
Look for the torrent.

Beautiful, Afro-Brazilain movie. Young man gives the white man and his black haters that work using Capoeira, an Afro-Brazilian Martial Art.
