- A great celebration of the creation of art and the impact on trauma and colonialization on how we are able to gather, create, share, and trust, Sinners is a great movie. I’ve used it to have conversations on how to engage and process trauma communally through music and body expression. The music is wonderful as a powerful expression of emotion and connection to the past. It’s also a great horror movie. - Jessie Duncan
- An incredible horror musical that has quickly become one of my favorite movies of all time. It shows the realities of living in the Mississippi Delta in the 1930’s as a Black person and artfully expands the vampire mythos to reflect White Supremacy’s violent, vampiric consumption of culture. This film is beautifully crafted and encourages conversation about topics like race, sex, and the power of music. - Link Keller
