Dreamland: The Burning of Black Wall Street (2022)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
They say that history is written by the "winners", or, to be more clear in this case, by the oppressors. The Tulsa Massacre, which occurred from May 31st to June 1st 1921, is one of the worst incidents of ethnic violence recorded in the United States, yet it is still not widely known (in recent years, series like 'Watchmen' or 'Lovecraft Country' have brought the fact to the collective imagination). Made in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the events, the CNN documentary for HBO Max called 'Dreamland: The Burning of Black Wall Street', is a detailed account of the events, trying to find answers to the questions that have persisted for a century, while paying tribute to the victims and survivors. A great documentary to discover a very little-known side of the hypocritical American historical canon, and one that is much needed to be known.

Victim/Suspect
Selected for the 2023 Sundance Festival, this Netflix exclusive documentary follows journalist Rachel "Rae" de León as she travels across the United States investigating a disturbing pattern: women are sexually abused and report it to the police, but are then accused of making false reports, arrested, and even imprisoned for it. Although Victim/Suspect falls into the exploitative trap of other Netflix documentaries about real crimes, the information presented here is well worth seeing to understand how institutionalized misogyny operates to perpetuate its own system.
Anna Nicole Smith: You Don't Know Me
Anna Nicole Smith, featuring never before seen footage of the iconic Playboy and Guess jeans model, who blazed a trail through the 90s before her tragic death at the age of 39.
