Bodyguard Kiba 

An in-depth discussion about anti-Black discrimination in college and professional football.

This coming-of-age Mexican movie is about a group of school children who fulfill their dreams.

Jordan Peele’s film is an intelligent and unflinching piece of work, firmly focused on the African American experience.

Despite its glaring flaws, First Girl I Loved is not entirely undeserving of a watch. For people who can handle the more difficult aspects of the story and graphic scenes, it is worth looking into. It’s not a film worthy of rewatch, but it may still resonate somewhat with those who need a story like this. It is a genuine, if flimsy attempt at a coming-of-age tale. Were the film to be directed by someone with experiences more similar to Anne, it would likely be more powerful--as it is, it feels like a man’s perspective of what it means to come to terms with your identity as a lesbian. 

Disney has kept its word and allowed a new generation of Black and/or African storytellers to tell their own original stories. The question remains, will the public keep their word?
