Notes on: Biology (2011)

Disney’s first Christmas advert, ‘From Our Family to Yours’ teaches us the magic of the holidays.

White audiences saw Peola’s mixed-race passing as a Black woman’s struggle to be white. Black audiences saw it as the rebellion of a Black woman trying to gain privileges only given to white people.

In all actuality, “Just Mercy” should be labeled a “wall punching narrative.” Constantly, the flick throws high forms of adversity our way, amping up our most inner levels of discomfort.

This powerful story shines with poetic animation, an exploration of deeper truths, and the protagonist's complex search for identity.
