Bobby G. Can't Swim (1999)
An excellent NYC street movie, along the lines of Mean Streets.
I loved this movie. It was touching, well shot and well directed.
John Luke Montius is a one-man wonder having written, directed, and starred in this NYC street drama. The hand held cameras gave it a harsh, realistic drive that captured the raw grit of the streets. I foresee "Bobby G" doing very well with the hip, underground crowd.
LaLee's Kin: The Legacy of Cotton (2001)
An excellent documentary that needs to be seen by all.
Lalee's Kin explores the extreme poverty of the people of the Mississippi Delta and the subversive effects that their heritage has had upon their education and general means of life. It is shocking to see that people can be so very destitute in our own country. These are our own people, yet they have been cast aside by a harsh and unchanging system that cannot seem to overcome the ramifications of slavery and racial segregation. The film takes place in 2000-2001, but it's images are shockingly outdated. This film is a must-see for all who think they know what it means to live in the modern United States of America.
