Incluvie Classics - 'Ganja & Hess'
'Ganja & Hess' is a 1973 experimental horror film, written and directed by the visionary auteur Bill Gunn. It was meant to be a straightforward blaxploitation film – but director Gunn had grander ambitions.

A comedic film that explores the trials, tribulations and triumphs of Filipino-American couple on a universal love trip, one that does not discriminate against color, stature or culture. It is a celebration of the Filipino experience from a foreigner's perspective, and simultaneously, the realization of the American dream through a Filipino's eyes.

A 2020 Japanese anime movie that focuses on a high school girl who is desperately in love with her secret crush.
The social issues The Half of it takes on are handled well, between the antagonization brought on to Ellie for her race and the conflict that arises from her being gay. Both aspects of her character are built up over the course of the film and don’t seem abrupt or rushed. The film shows racism towards Ellie and her and father in varying levels, from having her schoolmates specifically address her as "Chinese girl” to the fore mentioned way her Dad is treated due to language barriers. The same can be said about Ellie being a lesbian. While she never truly “comes out” in the narrative, that does not undermine her journey of self-discovery from being meaningful. These ideas aren’t thrust upon the viewer in a preachy manor, the scenarios that occur feel believable given the rural setting. The film presents watchers with problems whom those like Ellie may face, and leaves us to sit with them and reflect.
