This is why video propaganda is so good, it makes me able to see "ah yes that person IS perfect for the part"

i can help!

Posting this here too because I love it a lot.

So, Iris Hall here is a group of wish granting entities going towards a positive moral compass. & they just so happen to also be a rock band.

A light skinned mixed-race woman inherits a homestead from her grandfather who was a prospector in the American Northwest. She leaves Selma and treks, alone, to "Oristown" where she starts to settle in. There are some pretty fascinating looks at relations between blacks, between whites, between blacks and whites, and between blacks, whites, and those of mixed race, some 'passing', and some not. The KKK is recruited to try force a black prospector to sell his land after a 'passing' land speculator learns that it's more valuable than its owner knows. Unfortunately, footage of the climactic battle against a KKK gang has been lost so what remains skips (after a description of the missing footage) to the resolution.

The movie counters and undermines stereotypes through an array of friendships and conflicts, misperceptions and misunderstandings, egalitarian romance, proactive protagonists, and confidence in people generously and voluntarily helping and supporting each other. It's a movie whose sensibilities remain modern a hundred years later.

The Symbol of the Unconquered (1920) Director: Oscar Micheaux
