About this listen

One source examines "Sinners," a film that blends supernatural horror with the historical and social realities of the Jim Crow South, exploring themes of religion within the Black community, the fluidity of sacred and secular spaces, the intersection of faith and kinship, and the inclusion of African spiritual practices like hoodoo. The other source, a dissertation prospectus, discusses the challenges faced by Black film producers in the contemporary film industry, analyzing their perspectives through the lens of Critical Race Theory and using their experiences as counter-narratives to challenge dominant ideas about Black filmmaking. Together, these sources highlight the complexity of Black identity, culture, and representation in film, both through the lens of a specific film's narrative and the broader context of production practices.
