[New York Magazine @NYMag]

The best movie at Cannes this year is an oddball Canadian comedy. Matthew Rankin’s ‘Universal Language,’ set in a Winnipeg where everyone speaks Farsi, feels warm and familiar even as we realize just how startlingly original it is. https://t.co/IDlWp7INxp

What is the sound of the American story? We had a blast finding out. Hope you enjoy the ride.

DESCENDANT —

Margaret Brown is patient, deliberate in how she unfolds this, consistently centering the Clotilda descendants and only accessing story through THEIR voices, their testimony.

Gripping. Sobering. Affirming.

Sick day begun with SAINT OMER. I’ve been to church 🤲🏿

If you haven't already, I hope you’ll take some time to watch Descendant on @Netflix. It's an important documentary that shares the story of the descendants of the Clotilda, the last known ship carrying enslaved folks from Africa, as they uncover the truth about the past.

[Cinema Eye Honors @cinemaeyehonors]

When CEH celebrated our 10th year in 2017, we asked alums to select 20 films to represent the best of that first decade. You can now watch @margaretlbrown’s The Order of Myths, one of those films, on @netflix, alongside her #CEH2023 nominated Descendant.

Descendant is a powerful documentary that shares the story of the descendants of the survivors of the Clotilda, believed to be the last ship that carried enslaved Africans to the United States.

This is a really well-told article about the world of my film #DESCENDANT - thank you @VeraCarothers and @NewYorker for expanding the conversation and asking the questions that swirl around justice and reparations in this country.

intellectually knowing that something is coming does not prepare you for the devastation in the body when it hits

2) Caruso outspent his closest opponent 10 to 1 (!) and got 42% of the vote to Bass' 37% in a very low turnout election. Not exactly a resounding victory nor a clear cut message.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

In the aftermath of the Uvalde shooting, Greg Abbott went to a re-election fundraiser while Beto O'Rourke went to donate blood. The difference could not be more obvious.

[Rep. Barbara Lee (Archived) @RepBarbaraLee]

A doctor AND sitting US Senator felt comfortable saying that maternal mortality rates were only bad "if you count Black women."

Don't tell me there isn’t systemic racism in our health care system.

Chicagoans! Tonight 7pm the Davis Theatre, Dr Kern Jackson and I will be showing Descendant as part of @doc10filmfest and discussing the film and our long time collab afterwards. Tix here: https://t.co/y23BcMwUsY

On the SAME day, Republicans both held a press conference blaming Biden for the baby formula shortage *AND* voted against a bill that would ensure access to baby formula amid a shortage.
