by Bleav, Micheaux Mission
Vincent Williams and Len Webb have started an amazing journey to watch and review every African-American film released in theaters. Their passion project, the Micheaux Mission, honors Oscar Micheaux, a trailblazing Black filmmaker. Their enthusiasm and dedication are truly inspiring as they seek the perfect wine to pair with Pam Grier’s Coffy, find five movies since 1985 that don't feature Samuel L. Jackson, and connect with other film fans who share Len’s view on The Last Dragon. Their commitment to celebrating and examining African-American cinema is both commendable and uplifting.

Len sends Vincent Six Degrees toward Elliot Page and Suzy Eddie Izzard. Then we join the world in the delightful discovery of 2016, the transgressive, transformative, fully realized Jackie Shane in all her 50s-60s glory, in the Canadian documentary Any Other Way: The Jackie Shane Story.
