Ep. 314: Hollywood Divorce: Between Slavery and Shenanigans

The Section 357 Show: The Ball Street Journal

We peel back the curtains on some of the major challenges surrounding cultural minorities in Hollywood. Why do films like "12 Years a Slave" and those produced by Tyler Perry get made so frequently, while movies like "Best Man" are a rarity? What have Will Smith, Samuel Jackson, and Forest Whitaker been able to do that others haven't? What does the future hold for actors like Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino in rap circles)? Also, are the issues put forth by African Americans limited to just them? What about Latino or Asian American Actors? We tackle all of these issues and those above, plus give some alternative media offerings on the big, small, and mobile screens. Grab your popcorn; this is "Sports Without Borders"... http://twitter.com/Section357 http://section357.wordpress.com
