Our full first episode is finally up! I would open a bottle of champagne but bubbles make me dizzy. This episode, we continued the conversation started on our launch event where we screened Birth of a Nation and argued and laughed about things like white guilt, consent, black narratives, directing style... you know, the light topics.
Birth of a Nation tells the true story of Nat Turner, an enslaved Baptist Preacher in Southampton, Virginia in the 19th century, one of the southern states of America that kept African slaves. The movie tells of his prophetic visions and sufferings that led him to use the same Bible that he used to convince the slaves of their subjugation to lead the largest slave revolt in American History. The Southampton County rebellion was one of the most gruesome and co-ordinated mass killings of the time, claiming the lives of over 60 men, women and children. Nate Parker brings this leader to life on the big screen.
We referred to a lot of pop culture news, actors, movies, celebrities and other things, because, you know, we are cultured and stuff. But if you got lost in any part of that episode, here are the links and videos for all of them:
