I know it's difficult for me as a white man to analyze these pieces of art that might resonate differently with black audiences, but I'm going to make my attempt because I want to encourage people to watch these movies. I believe that films have the power to change hearts and minds. I strongly believe that black lives do matter and I hope the exploration of these topics will help advance that cause.
