Stamped From The Beginning
This is another one that we checked this out at the Toronto International Film Festival. Based on the book by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi this is the definitive documentary on the Black experience in America. It takes a scholarly approach and pulls no punches as it debunks myths surrounding the African American experience, including White Saviour narratives surrounding leaders like Abraham Lincoln and Ben Franklin, the sexualizing of Black women and the criminalization of Black men. The information is so damning the original book by Dr. Ibram X. Kendi was banned in parts of the United States. On November 15th you’ll get to see why. This is America as you’ve never seen it before.
