Boots Riley's I Love Boosters is a celebration of worker solidarity, but it is also something much more. It is a document of the state of progressive film-making and leftist organizing in the current period. In his debut review, D. Everett (@eisensteinghost) shows how Riley plays with and critiques in practice stereotypical portrayals of Black characters in media, and holds up a mirror to society's fears and neuroses of the poor.
But I Love Boosters' story and ending is also a document of something else—capitalist realism, and the way that what we can envision is determined by what we think is possible.
