A Black and Queer Movie/TV Playlist in Time of Unrest

It is 2020 y’all, and we have entered the most unprecedented time of our millennia, cops are still taking time to risk the Rona in order to fulfill their unwavering call to kill black folk. Are we surprised? No – Are we fed up? Well my ancestors are speaking for me on that one because I can feel it like I’ve never felt anything before. We’re getting up, we’re saying what needs to be said, and because of this virus the rebellion is being zoomed, reposted, linked, fb discussed, streamed and everyone is at their computers with nowhere else to go. It is uplifting – this version of our uprising and people are standing for us around the world. But it also does not quench the despair, the hopelessness, the straight-up fatigue. As my good friend Walter and Kleaver Cruz would say, choose joy (The Black Joy Project). So I find myself seeking the things that bring me solace, and if you didn’t guess it, that is television, movies, entertainment. Don’t get it twisted – not as a distraction but as fuel for my soul. It Reminds me how I fight and what my tools are. So in honor of black people and pride month with yet another uprising led by black and brown queer people, I am putting out my tv/movie playlist for all the many moods of brown folk during these times (in no particular order). Movies and shows that will channel your rage, that motivate us, those that match our current mood and those that remind us of presence and life.
