Is That Black Enough for You?!?
This documentary and deeply personal essay examines the craft and power of cinema from a perspective often overlooked: the African American contribution to films released from the landmark era of the 1970s. It is a deep dive into the impact that point of view had on movies – as well as popular culture – and serves as a love letter to film, posing questions that have never been asked, let alone answered.
Crucial artistic voices – including director Charles Burnett, Samuel L. Jackson, Whoopi Goldberg, Laurence Fishburne and Zendaya – offer their distinctive prism on the creators and films that dazzled and inspired. The film provides insight into the history of Black representation going back to the earliest days of cinema, and the cultural impact of witnessing unapologetic Blackness.
Capturing the Killer Nurse
Charlie Cullen was an experienced registered nurse, trusted and beloved by his colleagues at Somerset Medical Center in New Jersey. He was also one of history’s most prolific serial killers, with a body count potentially numbering in the hundreds across multiple medical facilities in Northeast USA.
Based on The Good Nurse, this new documentary reveals the twisted story behind Cullen’s hidden spree of murders. Using audio from Cullen and emotional sit-downs with those closest to the events – including whistle-blower and fellow nurse Amy Loughren, the detectives who cracked the case, and family members of the victims – the film traces how the truth was initially too shocking for anyone to comprehend, and how Cullen’s horrific actions underscore an even bigger danger still lurking in the US healthcare system.
