I thought I saw Herman Cain on the trailer. Looks interesting.
It is getting excellent reviews on fandango and rottentomatoes.
You're looking at the tree, but not seeing the forest. The fact that this movie was made means that the change has already started. The movie isn't a clarion call, it is an acknowledgment that parts of the black community are waking up to the knowledge that they have been sold down the river.
It's labeled as a documentary, but it is anything but boring. It basically explores the reasons blacks vote democratic, despite the fact that the Democratic party has re-enslaved the black community and made them beholden to the government teat.
Looks good, documantarys usually hit Netflix instant pretty quick.
Why do I get the impression that many feel that documentaries = boring? To me, that says a lot.
I know. I like them, I get really into them because I know it's a real story rather than fake.
While the subject matter of documentaries can be interesting, more often than not the presentation leaves a little something to be desired. A dude in front of a blackboard speaking in a monotone is not what I want to watch for two hours, no matter how interesting the subject. This movie doesn't do that: the editing is fast paced, CL Bryant is a dynamic speaker (and a native Louisianian), the music is catchy, the people he interviews are articulate; it's more infotainment than documentary.

I was about to drop my netflix b/c of their lack of classic movies. I found the documentaries, and am a born-again netflix fan. Documentaries comprise about 75% of my tv viewing; as Joe Rogan has mentioned, "I've learned more from documentaries than all my years in school." My 9 year old son watches them along with me, and can tell you all about Good Korea/Naughty Korea, Syria, Kosovo, Lybia, Saudi, Israel/Palestine, quantum physics, astronomy, futurism, 9/11, and the direction alternative energy is going.
Some recently watched favorites:
The world without US
Zeitgeist(not for children, dead bodies in the beginning)
Transcendent Man(not on netflix but a good download from the site for a little $, if you're a futurist fan)
Beyond Survival w/ Les Stroud
Anyone has any more recommendations, throw em up!

I went to see 2016 last week and was very glad I did. I really want to see this as well, but dont know if it is playing anywhere close by. The closest listed on the website is in Harrahan...
Watched 2016 last weekend, and they're two very different movies. FWIW, I thought this was a more fun to watch movie, and the content will still be pertinent long after the election is over. Point might be moot, though, since it definitely isn't playing at Elmwood anymore. I'm not sure where it's playing around here, or if it is even still in theaters.
