Adventures in Authenticity & Animation (Bébé’s Kids)

Adventures In Black Cinema With Desmond Thorne

We’re back! After a much needed summer break, Desmond returns to the pod with the animated comedy classic BÉBÉ’S KIDS! He gets into the ways in which this film feels like an authentically black narrative, what the film says about how Black kids are treated by society, and the ways in which genre films such as comedy and animation can convey important issues. Also, this week’s Trust and Believe goes out to a wonderful film about an epic summer in the past
