If Mother Nature were in the boardroom, what would she say? This is the question posed by Sea Change Project's latest short film, Mother Nature in the Boardroom, featuring Craig Foster (@seachangeproject) and Dr. Jane Goodall. Played by Dr. Jane Goodall (@janegoodallinst), Mother Nature urges decision-makers to work with her and not against her, prioritizing biodiversity in all their plans.

Overall, “Dark Fate” is a run-of-the-mill flick. Together, Reyes and Davis have excellent chemistry, but their characters’ story is nothing new, lacking surprise and deep emotion. During the middle points, the film drags considerably, and when the action hits, it feels consistently tight, eliminating the rhythm and fluidity of conflicts.
Two movies that do a fantastic job in conveying the ongoing struggle for racial justice are Selma (2014) and Just Mercy (2019).
'Motherless Brooklyn' is a 1950s whodunit made by its star, Edward Norton. Like most detective films in this setting, the cast is mostly white males (with a few notable exceptions).
Overall, Cruella stands above the other Disney retellings. Its dark and bold, and that is exactly what these retellings should be. Emma Stone continues to prove she's one of the finest young actresses working today, and Emma Thompson gives one of the best villain performances in the last decade. The fashion is stunning, the dogs are adorable, and the story is wildly vibrant and original. It's classic movie fun, and it shouldn't be overlooked.
It’s fun, it’s energetic, but it’s also understated and vicarial. Zola is a modern black fairytale and future of black movies.
When most of us think about diversity in film, we usually think about three things: race, gender, and disabilities. However, there is a forgotten topic... age. These are 12 of the best films about growing old.
