I do believe that International Blog Against Racism Week is coming up in August, so there's plenty of time for my mad plan: ask you all to read one book (or watch one movie) and then review it during the week

Looking for Langston by Isaac Julien (1988) ;)
One Plus One (aka Sympathy for the Devil) by Jean-Luc Godard:

"There’s producer Iain Quarrier’s cut, entitled Sympathy for the Devil to cash in on the Stones’ popularity, and which has a completed version of their song playing out at the end (over footage of them playing something different). This is the cut that caused Godard to walk out its NFT showing, hitting the producer for good measure on the way and telling the audience to collect their admission money and give it to the Eldridge Cleaver Foundation before calling them all fascists." (Graeme Hobbs)

There's also lengthy scenes of black power activists discussing philosophy in a junkyard, but the above incident is the thing I wish most I'd been alive to see.

Ooh and Chocolat by Claire Denis (I think it's 1986ish). If you see Depp, Binoche and Dame Judi, you're doing it wrong.
