Juneteenth: Don’t Worry about Slavery, the White People Fixed It
Juneteenth is a day to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the United States on June 19th, 1865. We did it! Everyone is free! Everyone is equal! End of story, right?

Originally produced for Dutch TV this vision of four different film makers begins with the fluid strains of Mendelssohn's classical masterpiece. Suddenly the concert hall is transformed into a fabulous forest where a light-hearted fairy escaped the clutches of her lord, and with the help of the devilish Puck, tumbles head over heels into a magical and bizarre love adventure. At the end the famous wedding march blossoms on to the screen with the magic of the animator's brush.

American Fiction is a genuinely entertaining film with a few lessons.
Indie director, Niki Caro (known for 'Whale Rider') directs the live-action 'Mulan' and sets another example of strong females fighting against gender inequality.
For the most part, 'Sweet Girl' recycles tired hyper masculine revenge tropes, but a surprise twist in the end turns it into a female-centric revenge film.
There were too many irrelevant parts that could have been shortened, and too many characters that didn't advance the plot. Either way, some things didn't add up. This was just another played out plot with little, if any, originality in it. By the end of the film, I wasn't happy that she finally got her freedom, I was happy that it was finally over.
