Russian Melodies 

The Magician's Elephant has a strong multicultural cast and a heartwarming story about bringing two long-lost siblings back together

I can say without question, that this is the first movie I’ve ever seen where art imitates life so much that I could 100% identify with it on a personal level. The predominately Black cast of characters are people with hopes, dreams, fears, and ambitions.

'Alice' is a genre trifecta: one part revenge drama, one part historical account, one part throwback to Blaxploitation—kinda 'Django' meets 'Roots' meets 'Foxy Brown.'

This little Netflix film was very inspirational. It passes the Bechdel test, and features a different worldview with rural Indian representation.

It’s passionately protective of the women mentioned in the story or appearing on screen. Just like the article and the #MeToo movement, the film could help a trapped person find the courage to fight back.

As a cultural touchstone, Jaws has launched a thousand parodies, tributes, and memorable quotes.
