Why watch this film?
Disney's 2020 movie, but with the story, aesthetics, and tone of Disney Channel productions from the 1990s and 2000s. In a charming mix of 'The Game Plan', 'Glory Road', and 'Remember the Titans', the feature film 'Safety' tells the story of an American football player who works hard to support and educate his younger brother in any way he can - both on and off the field. Director Reginald Hudlin ('House Party') uses and abuses overly emotional and revealing moments typical of all these other Disney productions mentioned here. However, it is impossible to deny the emotion that arises with some good moments of 'Safety'. A conventional but affectionate emotional journey.

The Black Godfather
Directed by Reginald Hudlin (of 'Marshall: Equality and Justice'), this documentary is the perfect demonstration that, in the world of entertainment, talent is just as important behind the scenes as it is in the spotlight. 'The Godfather of Black Music' dives into the figure of Clarence Avant, often known as "Godfather of Black Music" - in reference to the original title of 'The Godfather'. Avant is one of the great music entrepreneurs and executives in the US, and has also made incursions into the world of cinema, involved in the success of names like Louis Armstrong, Little Willie John, Tom Wilson, Lalo Schifrin, Sarah Vaughan and many others. The team assembled to talk about Avant in the film is a heavyweight group: Quincy Jones, Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Snoop Dogg, Jamie Foxx and many more.
Marshall
A hard-hitting, realistic film about Thurgood Marshall, the first African American on the US Supreme Court and responsible for the victory that framed racial segregation in schools across the country as a crime. However, in this movie, actor Chadwick Boseman portrays Marshall years before these accomplishments, when he was just a lawyer defending African Americans wrongfully accused of crimes. The result is a hard-hitting, realistic, and necessary film - which was Oscar-nominated for Best Original Song, penned by rapper Common and Diane Warren.
Sidney
Though often forgotten by the masses, Sidney Poitier is a landmark for American cinema - and for the history of the United States itself. After all, this actor, filmmaker, and activist not only became the first black actor to win an Oscar, but also made the fight for black rights a constant in his life and career, participating in important civil rights movements. In this documentary produced by Oprah Winfrey and directed by Reginald Hudlin, Sidney's story is explored with archives and candid interviews with Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Robert Redford, Spike Lee, and other great names in cinema. An important document about our past.
Candy Cane Lane
Like Jumanji, but set in Christmas. Starring Eddie Murphy and Tracee Ellis Ross, "Candy Cane Lane" is a family Christmas comedy in which a man unintentionally makes a deal with a mischievous elf. Now, to avoid being turned into a doll, he must collect the golden rings owned by the characters from the classic song "The 12 Days of Christmas." It's a conventional and somewhat chaotic Christmas movie, but it's enjoyable due to the performances of its cast.

Green Border
'Green Border' - In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so called “green border” between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa trying to reach the European Union are trapped in a geopolitical crisis cynically engineered by Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko.
