Feeling Seen Kwame Kwei-Armah on ‘Malcolm X,’ ‘Ragtime’ and ‘Hollywood Shuffle’
A writer for stage and screen, an artistic director, and an actor, Kwame Kwei-Armah chose a truly poetic trio of Black men pushed to a righteous breaking point for today’s conversation. Which is a perfect parallel to his latest project, Breaking (which premiered at Sundance ‘22 under the title 892), starring John Boyega and based on the true story of Brian Brown-Easley.
Then, Jordan has one quick thing about forthcoming shorts anthology Give Me an A.
Movies this week:
Malcolm X (Spike Lee, 1992)
Ragtime (Milos Forman, 1981)
Hollywood Shuffle (Robert Townsend, 1987)
