Self Explanatory. I understand that this is not the original adaption but seeing it so vividly with modern technology really changes your LIFE.
Roots (TV Mini Series 2016)
This show isn’t as *emotionally* serious as the other media in this list BUT it interested me so deeply that I changed my entire career path right after watching it. I went from wanting to do a career in healthcare to wanting to do criminology. Now I...

Movies
People take this movie too seriously on the horror front when that’s probably the most insignificant part of the movie. While I do feel like this is a great move even if you’re a surface level viewer, you desperately NEED to immerse yourself in the c...
Sinners (2025)
As someone who dealt with bullying before cyber-bullying was a thing, this move deeply moved me. It is not for the faint of heart. The emotional turmoil you feel for the main character is so deep. You walk through every emotion with her and it forces...
Cyberbully
I love everything about this movie. The cinematography, the music, the characters, THE STORY! 1000/10. This movie really made you sit and think. It addressed the systemic racism that we as black peoples have adopted into our own culture and how it ha...
They Cloned Tyrone
Documentaries
This is one of the most gut wrenching, beautiful documentaries I have ever seen. Be prepared to cry. Although it is a unfortunate tale of systemic injustice when it comes to men and their children, it is also a tale of devotion and love.
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008)
This one was an interesting watch because you go through the motions of skepticism, confusion, anger, and then finally sadness. People debate over this documentary and what was really going on.
Take Care of Maya
It’s hard for me to put into words the depth and insanity that is this documentary. My outlook on sex work, and just women in relation to men as a whole completely changed after watching this. It’s absolutely flooring. Jaw on the floor.
Girl in the Picture
I grew up a wrestling fan. My entire childhood was my cousins & I flipping off of couches and getting in trouble for copying Degeneration X’s iconic move. Learning about the story of Chris Benoit (who passed when I was very young) was groundbreak...
"Dark Side of the Ring" Benoit - Part One
This documentary started off so interesting and genuinely had me so hopefully for the development of technology to help disabled people but it turned disgustingly dark and sinister. My heart was broken and I’ll endlessly have so much empathy for thos...
