Unicorns at the Movies: They've Gotta Have Us

A look at film and Blackness

4 years ago

In this episode we share our thoughts on the docu-series They've Gotta Have Us recommended by listener Kendra.

This week for May Movie Month, we break into They’ve Gotta Have Us, a three-part docuseries directed by Simon Frederick. This mini-series gives an introduction to black film history and reflects on the influence and impact black people have had (and continue to have) on our culture today. During this episode we discuss issues of black people working BEHIND the camera , mixed-race struggle in film, and the British-Black experience in entertainment.

Have you watched this docuseries? Would you recommend this film? Let us know your thoughts!

The perfect way to end our episode is to share our Happy Place hint it’s carb based, colorful, and full of volume! Let us know what is making YOU happy during this time!
