Netflix’s “Self Made”: What's Fact and What's Fiction?
Netflix takes some liberties in its portrayal of Madame CJ Walker, a trailblazing Black entrepreneur.
One Night in the Capital City
How far would a man go for money, women and power and who would he betray? How much would a woman sacrifice for love? Nine, daughter of a triad boss, travels to Beijing in a bid to win back her boyfriend, Chung, refuting the suspicion that he’s absconded with the gang’s money. With the camera trained on her wide-eyed face, Nine leads Chung on a whirlwind adventure through the capital’s sinister underbelly where their paths cross with those of low-life thugs, each having a role to play in a clever ruse to ferret out a snitch. With 10 million dollars at stake, emotions are running high and tension is taut and each puff of smoke is harrowing.
