Keyword View: society  Sixteen-year-old Xtra Keys (Roger Guenveur Smith) lives by a few simple rules, all rooted in a world of brazen, retaliatory violence.

PR The Powerbroker: Whitney Young's Fight for Civil Rights on DVD Apr 30  During the 1960s, as the executive director of the National Urban League, Whitney Young was one of the few African Americans who had the ear of those who controlled the levers of power: Fortune 500 CEOs, governors, senators, and presidents. He used these relationships to gain better access to employment, education, housing, and healthcare for African Americans, other minorities, and those in need. Read More...

DVD Review THE TIN DRUM (BLU-RAY)  I'm excited to finally see this infamous, controversial film, and, given The Criterion Collection's involvement, this disc will make it well worth the wait. Read More... PR Black Like Me on DVD, Digital, On Demand Dec 11  Based on the landmark memoir of the same name by John Howard Griffin, who used pigment dyes and sun lamps to blend into "negro" society and gain a true perspective on what it was like to live as a black in the deep Jim Crow south.

Restored from the original negative by Los Angeles post-production facility Sonic Pool for this long-awaited release. Read More...
