Watched the 1992 Bill Duke film Deep Cover the other day. It struck me that this might be the only american produced film I’ve seen that makes an explicit connection between the US imperialist project abroad, and the white supremacist project at home. Granted, it’s not the focus of the film, but it’s still more honest than most of the reagan/contra/warondrugs inspired films of the era, which typically never engaged with the politics past bumpersticker rhetoric like “beer good, commies bad”.

For a mainstream hollywood flick about a narc, this is actually not half bad.
