Love by Chance (2016)

A family adventure film that features Hawaiian culture with a representative director and a diverse cast.

The Gates, John Burr’s new thriller film, is a disturbingly realistic portrayal of three Black twenty-somethings - Derek (Mason Gooding), Kevin (Algee Smith), and Tyon (Keith Powers), as they accidentally take a wrong turn into a gated community that’s more like a modern-day sundown town. The three friends witness a variety of crimes in their new surroundings, including an attempted homicide and an attempted rape. As they attempt to alert the authorities and do the right thing, they are thwarted at every turn by the worst horror stories of American conservatism - racist white suburbanites, reckless gun violence, corrupt police, religious mania, and a megalomaniacal pastor. 

The 'Shaft' remake fails to capture Blaxpoitation's rebellious spirit.

The concept of male fragility is explored (interestingly, by a male director) in The Sun Never Sets

By undermining the appeal and credibility of black characters, the show compromises the very idea of diversity and representation it sets to promote.

Through three intricately crafted seasons of television, "Hannibal" has managed to make itself into the best incarnation of the self-titled work.
