S1. Ep. 3: Commercial Race Theatre

In our class, the big studio movies of 1989 are Glory and Driving Miss Daisy, which look at Black history, but very much from a white lens. This episode explores how Hollywood's ‘business-as-usual’ standards pale in comparison to Eddie Murphy's and Spike Lee's visions and how Black director Euzhan Palcy gets caught up in the mix.
