Hollywood Black

Dear Black People

In the 1990s, a new generation of Black filmmakers and megastars are embraced by the studio system; independent and female filmmakers who diverge from mainstream portrayals of Black life still struggle for recognition.

Price of Admission

Following the unrest of the 1960s, Black filmmakers look to celebrate Black culture on screen; as Hollywood begins to see dollar signs, Black actors and directors try to maintain their dignity without selling out.

The Defiant Ones

From the silent era to the late 1960s, an emboldened generation of Black actors and directors make films that counter denigrating imagery of Black people and forever change Hollywood's perception of Black storytellers.
