two days ago i saw KOTFM, a film about the predation of a minority and the land they outright own, by white people.
this film, Silver Dollar Road, taking place 100 YEARS after the former, documents the seizure of a black family’s land, enriched with memories and history, by the same predators.

it makes you wonder when instances like this will finally be stopped and not overlooked by the justice system.
