The Incluvie Roundtable Discussion for Black History Month: Examining the Current State of Black Film and Our Hopes for its Future 

The Incluvie movie critics sit down to talk about some of their favorite Black films, highlighting the triumphs that have been made, while also acknowledging the systemic racism that still permeates the industry today. Ultimately, this conversation illustrates why it is so important to have a spectrum of films that shows both the joys and the struggles that exist within the Black experience. It's about allowing as many people as possible the chance to share their story, to give as many viewpoints to the screen as we can.

Some topics we cover:

• How Jordan Peele's recent work has helped give a new lens to horror and Black film
• The way in which colorism creates barriers and stigmas
• bell hooks and the Oppositional Gaze
• Why 'The Help' is problematic

Don't be surprised if you come away from this discussion with a desire to give 'Catwoman' another shot ;) And find dozens of great movie references to add to your watchlist!
