How a Village Beat White Supremacy—Lessons from "Bacurau" with The Micheaux Mission

If you loved Sinners, you'll wanna tune in. This week on Black History Year, we're asking, "What happens when a whole town decides the map no longer defines them--and then proves it?" On this special crossover episode with the film-fanatics at The Micheaux Mission, host Darren is cracking open the must-see Afro-Brazilian thriller "Bacurau" (2019). Part Western, part sci-fi, part anti-colonial manifesto (YES, that), they explore how collective audacity can turn survival into revolution--and why this genre-busting film might be a blueprint to getting real, trill freedom.
