Incluvie Classics - 'Ganja & Hess'
'Ganja & Hess' is a 1973 experimental horror film, written and directed by the visionary auteur Bill Gunn. It was meant to be a straightforward blaxploitation film – but director Gunn had grander ambitions.

Op een dag vindt een kleine jongen een pinguïn op zijn stoep. De jongen weet niet goed wat aan te vangen met het verdwaalde diertje. Omdat niemand hem lijkt te missen besluit hij de pinguïn dan maar met zijn roeiboot terug te brengen naar de Zuidpool. De reis belooft een beproeving te worden. De film wordt voorafgegaan door 4 andere verhaaltjes: "The Light" (Yuta Sukegawa, Japan); "Der Grosse Brüder" (Jesús Pérez & Elisabeth Hütterman, Zwitserland, Duitsland); "Much Better Now" (Salon Alip, Oostenrijk); "Bottle" (Kirsten Lepore, USA).

Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion is a fan-favorite, as are some of the more science fiction angled movies like 28 Days Later or World War Z. I recently watched the 1995 Wolfgang Peterson-directed movie, Outbreak for the first time, which is currently available on Netflix.
Disney’s Hunchback of Notre Dame is a unique film coming from the same studio that brought us The Little Mermaid and Aladdin. While it does have its silly moments to maintain Disney’s family-friendliness, it also carries themes that stick to audiences years after its release.
"The Platform" is horror and science fiction film doubling as a visual commentary on capitalism and economic inequality. The movie is not for the faint of heart nor the viewer hoping for political neutrality in their film's depth.
I compiled a list of women’s basketball movies and documentaries so that every type of fan can find their new favorite watch.
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.
