teams to interact with one another, let alone cooperate as a team. They are then forced to go through a training boot camp led by black coach Herman Boone, before going into playing season.

Stars Denzel Washington, Will Patton, Wood Harris, Ryan Hurst and more. African Americans have fought a treacherous battle for their rights in the United States. In the 1960s, they rallied and protested to have their voice heard in the legal system. But 100 years before that, they battled their way to be treated as human. Now, 152 years since slavery was abol- ished in America, Jordan Peele has instilled that fear back into the Black Community amid the presidency of a racially insensitive leader. In his directorial debut movie, Peele introduces a mixed-race couple, with a White female antagonist and Black male protagonist. The movie revolves around a Black photographer who decides to spend a weekend with his White girlfriend’s family in the coun- tryside. However, he soon realises that there is more to his family than just typical racism. Being a satirist, Pele manages to create a issues that are true and turn them into psychological nightmares, making you paranoid if these things are play- ing out in real life. He uses events that are close to the lives of African Americans and exag- gerates them to show the problem of White Supremacy in America. It por- trays the helplessness of Black men in the US, especially when faced with the law. So watch Get Out to understand what White Supremacies might be doing these days.
