Radical Brownies

documentary short

21:30

Berets, badges, Black Lives Matter and social justice: the youth group for activist girls of colour.

The Radical Monarchs is an alternative to the Scout movement for girls of colour in Oakland, California. Its members earn badges not for sewing or selling cookies, but for completing challenges on social justice including Black Lives Matter, ‘radical beauty’, being ‘an LGBTQ ally’ and the environment.

The Monarchs' critics accuse them of brainwashing their children and unnecessarily segregating them. But their warm welcome in Oakland and the demand from across the US and around the world for similar groups suggests that they've tapped into something that's needed.

It's also shot outdoors during most of the cast interviews, which gives this enjoyable documentary a pleasing atmosphere. [DVD Talk]

75:23

On the Shoulders of Giants tells the story of The Harlem Rens - the greatest basketball team you've never heard of. In 1939 the world of professional basketball was segregated and "colored" teams could not compete against white teams, nor vie for league championships. The Harlem Rens were the best of the black teams yearning for a chance at a national championship. The players not only beat tremendous odds - from pervasive racism to the Great Depression - but became the first world champions of professional basketball when they defeated every other team, (including the best white teams) for this coveted title and until now their story has remained relatively unknown.www.hollywoodreporter.com

A good portion involves actors’ responses to Lem’s death, which inspired them creatively but saddened them emotionally. We learn plenty about the creative implications of killing Lem and where it may take the show in the future. It’s also great to hear Forrest Whitaker discuss his opinion of Kavanaugh, which varies considerably from the typical fan hatred. This wonderful feature concludes with a moving goodbye to Johnson on the set, which showcases the series’ familial environment. www.digitallyobsessed.com

They explain casting, what made it so hard and how they ultimately benefited from having "The God of Thunder" in their film. Follow the crew through the foibles of the shoot and catch some awesome unused footage from the "chaos on every screen" climax. For those Whedonites who despise his desire to kill off beloved characters, hear Mr. Whedon himself confront the issue and complaints. www.highdefdigest.com

The current understanding of environmental issues, potential future problems and the concept of climate change, various modern calamitous events and developments as well as their ramifications, possible effects, methods that can be taken to change matters and movements in that direction, efforts from US lawmakers and our society’s legacy. “Force” presents a disturbing look at the situation. It certainly doesn’t paint a pretty picture about the current situation and prospects for the future, especially since the participants don’t seem all that optimistic politicians and corporations will do what’s necessary. “Force” provides a good broad look at the various issues and depicts the concerns well.

Anyone with rudimentary knowledge about the backstory behind "The African Queen" already knows that the production of the film, which took place largely in Africa, was plagued with problems, ranging from the difficulties of managing the massive Technicolor camera, to outbreaks of dysentery among cast and crew, to a mass infestations of soldier ants on the set. The one-hour documentary "Embracing Chaos: The Making of 'The African Queen'" does a nice job of capturing the details of all that disorganization, featuring interviews with members of the crew and film historians who do a colorful job of recounting the tale.

A look at prolific comic book artist Jack Kirby’s life and work as well as thoughts about his material and influence. Part-biography, part-tribute, the documentary assumes some foreknowledge of comic books, particularly Kirby's work, but sheds much light on the integral artist behind the series The Fantastic Four, with an immense cast of interview subjects. We hear mostly from comic book artists, but also from Kirby's grown-up kids and business partner, all of whom speak with clear admiration. Praise is heaped, memories are shared, and shortcomings are acknowledged. One comes away with a real sense of knowing this individual so influential to the field.
