Description

Inspired by the recent release of 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' (2022), Imo and James decide to explore Black representation in the science-fiction/super-hero fantasy genre (specifically, sci-fi movies that centre Black protagonists/characters). 


The first curated film of the season is 'Project Power' (2020), starring Jamie Foxx, Dominique Fishback and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. 


Picking up on this theme, the critics discuss how Joost and Schulman's sci-fi thriller deal with the US healthcare system, Hurricane Katrina, and the Tuskegee Experiment all within a compact feature film that also has equal measures of style, bombast and heart. 


Is the movie an unappreciated power-punch or just dealing in stereotypes?
