River of Hope (2020)

Masterful satire that shines a light on the struggles of Black creatives.

These confines won’t really encourage you to read the film as a metaphor for the nerve-inducing experience we’ve all been through over the last year, however — and in the interest of maintaining your dignity, you probably shouldn’t. While the sociopolitical commentary may have worked for the similarly-themed Buried (2010), in which we find Ryan Reynolds on his own buried alive in the Middle East, but this futuristic take on the premise is best left as a piece of distracting entertainment. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is no less suffocating, literally and dramatically.

This remake of the Disney Channel Original Movie of the same name brings a strong representative cast.

This Comedy-Drama set in Nazi Germany, shows a young boy, Jojo who wants to be Hitler's personal guard and even conjures up Hitler to be his imaginary friend. His nationalism and prejudices of Jews change when he discovers a Jewish girl hiding in his attic.

A pop star at Radio City Music Hall gets the opportunity to change herself to save her music career.

Behind all the action, 'Space Sweepers' is a surprisingly heartfelt and progressive story about building community.
