When We Move
Film grain, dynamic choreography and impeccable style play secondary roles in this powerful statement of Black excellence and culture-leading artistry. Bolstered by clips of the Black Panther party, Nelson Mandela and Muhammed Ali, this is a pure celebration and reclamation of identity amidst a culture constantly misappropriating and undervaluing those who’ve put us all on their shoulders as artists and cultural leaders.
