| Description of Program |
BlackPublicMedia.org reviews and considers for distribution on a rolling basis films about the black experience globally. Our content priorities include films in contemporary settings depicting black life and experience in a rare and often overlooked context. We are most thrilled by those cinematic gems which bring to us knowledge that has been ignored by popular culture; films outside the norm which approach black characters, stories and locales in a fresh and engaging manner. BlackPublicMedia.org also supports the production of interactive online content designed to engage any audience interested in African Diaspora content online. |
