Blaxploitalian: 100 Years of Blackness in Italian Cinema

2016

Movie

A documentary that uncovers the careers of a population of entertainers never heard from before: Black actors in Italian cinema. With modern day interviews and archival footage, the documentary discloses the personal struggles and triumphs that classic Afro-Italian, African-American and Afro-descendant actors faced in the Italian film industry, while mirroring their struggles with those of contemporary actors who are working diligently to find respectable, significant, and non-stereotypical roles, but are often unable to do so. Blaxploitalian is more than an unveiling of a troubled history; it is a call-to-action for increased diversity in international cinema through the stories of these artists in an effort to reflect the modern and racially diverse Italy.

Movie

Eddie Johnson is looking for a new line of work. He's a battle-scarred undercover cop, working in a universe where nothing seems to add up. It‘s Seattle‘s notorious Chinatown corridor, where women look like men, everyone has a hidden agenda, and anything that looks like salvation will probably pump you full of lead. When his partner is gunned down in a drug bust gone awry, Johnson is suspended for insubordination. But his thirst for the killer‘s trail remains at a lever pitch, especially when he meets Mai Lei (Gina Lim), the sexy assistant to an enigmatic preacher connected with murder. She's everything that Johnson wants; a pleasure-seeking jaguar who gets hotter near the smell of a Harley. Too bad she's a former hooker/assassin with a classified file at Army intelligence. Before he uncovers her deadly past, he'll undergo a major ATTITUDE adjustment.
