Running Scared (1980)

A young boy who runs away from home discovers friendship when he befriends a young dragon in this animated movie.

SPOILERS AHEAD. Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song distinguished itself from Hollywood films of its time by introducing New Wave cinema storytelling methods into Black cinema.

I highly recommend Dark Waters. It’s a highly engrossing picture, which lends itself to cautionary storytelling. The dark information continually grows, inspiring change and accountability altogether. Overall, Haynes’ picture will not be known for its inclusiveness--but it will be known for being a fantastic, engrossing film.

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