As a black woman who grew up in North Carolina and has lived all over the United States, I’m very happy that Mr. Blow acknowledges that racism isn't just a problem in the south:

Blow dismissed the northern bias that racism is worse in the south. Its history may be fraught when it comes to anti-Black discrimination, but Black people have experienced racial violence everywhere in the country, not just the south. He made the point that many of the cities where Black men were killed by people were destination cities for many Black individuals in the first great migration out of the south. “Racism is not regional,” Blow said.

More from his interview with The Guardian here.

NGL, some of the most racist motherfuckers I've ever encountered were in NY and San Francisco. That aside, it is so fucking sad to see voter suppression still be an actual thing in 2023. Is this meant to be a democracy?

On another note, a dear friend of mine is the cinematographer for this documentary, and I'm very excited for him!

THE LAST WALTZ (1978) Grade: B

Loved Scorsese camera movements & the stage sets were an interesting move. I looked forward to the interviews. Good documentary even if you're not familiar with their music.

Rewatching the Merkel (2022) documentary again and I really appreciate the Adam Curtis style elements with archival footage of the DDR mixed with the 'Du Hast Den Farbfilm Vergessen' video whilst the song plays on top of it.

From the cradle, they had been told of Israel as a storied paradise, a glittering refuge for their people. But now, two intrepid film-makers were determined to tell a different story--one of struggle and loss, of destinations unknown and lives upended. No matter the consequences, they would unearth the truths that others wanted buried--truths that could unlock a different kind of paradise. What would they find, these travelers? What stories would they uncover, in this land of promise and peril?
