10 films in package

Black is Black

A much-needed conversation about colorism, a major issue within many communities -- particularly the Black community.

Two Weeks

Date night takes a turn for worst when Rachel's husband admires the waitress' butt.

Car Therapy: Uncoupling

A college therapist who moonlights as a ride-sharing app driver meets a too turnt lesbian couple with too much tea (and other things!) to spill in the car.

Grist

Hannah ends a three-year on-again/off-again "situationship" with Roman due to irreconcilable world views that have potentially serious ramifications. But it wasn't all a wash.

Hacking the New Jim Code

Can Afrofuturism pave the way for a society free of biased technology? A discussion of the legacies of slavery and underrepresentation envisions an Afrofuturist world where technology is community-driven rather than profit-driven.

I Am a Man

Four Black men from different worlds have a heartfelt conversation about manhood, creativity, sex and their place in the world.

Ode To Joy: An Introduction

An intimate paean to Mother Earth and to Black women’s generativity.

Pressed

When a socially awkward young woman gets the date of her dreams, she finds herself under pressure to change her looks.

Satisfaction

An embarrassing incident forces a woman to choose between sheltering her surprise witness and finding her sexual voice.

Troubled Waters

An examination of the relationship between water and the Black community; how water has been used as a tool by Black people but also weaponized against them throughout history.
