I highly recommend #IsThatBlackEnoughForYou, especially for white and other non-Black people, and for Black people who didn't live in the U.S. before the 1980's.

It's another part of #AmericanHistory that's been overlooked or diminished and, by the end, shows how that part of history was buried and left for dead by another round of white appropriation.

#IsThatBlackEnoughForYou, a #2022 #documentary on #Netflix, is uneven but a very valuable and insightful look at the rise, fall and continuing influence of #Black #cinema from 1968 to 1978.

A lot of the names and movies it covers are new to me, and others I remember my mom taking us to see like #Shaft and #Superfly (which she said she'd never have taken us to if she'd known it was so sexual).

I learned it was Black cinema that made #soundtracks a key part of movie marketing and success.

Now watching #documentary #IsThatBlackEnoughForYou by #ElvisMitchell. On Netflix. I dragged my feet to see it. I had Prof #DonaldBogle in college. I thought I knew everything about history of #BlackFilm (hahaha.). Doc is great. Many perspectives I never even considered + lots of films I need to hunt down to watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElWKkC0h42w

As recommended to me by @shaggyrand, Is That Black Enough For You?!? is a feature doc on Netflix now that I am happy to recommend to everyone else. Superb stuff.
