This is a list of seven films that explore police brutality and systemic racism made by Black filmmakers.

A human resistance fighter (Michael Biehn) is also sent back in time, with the intent of saving Sarah from this deadly foe.
In this high-flying mission, the pups gear up with jets to stop the Duke of Flappington and save Barkingburg.
