Action Jackson (1988)

Looking for some Afro-centric entertainment? Check out these movies and immerse yourself in Black culture. This is just a sampling from one Blerds perspective.

Black Panther - This is a significant achievement in cinema as well as in the superhero genre. Featuring an up-and-coming African-American writer/director Ryan Coogler and a predominately African-American cast. The costumes, soundtrack and production design captured the imagination of an Afrofuturistic world.

Who We Are - There are a plethora of documentaries that chronicle the journey of the African-American diaspora. 'Eyes On The Prize' is typically the go to offering. While it's comprehensive in its information it is dated in its production. 'Who We Are' is a more modern project with a singular perspective. With eyewitness accounts and civil rights artifacts, it delves into the history of racism from an academic perspective. Presented by lawyer Jeffrey Robinson, it provides new and evocative data.
