The 15 Best Movies by Black Directors, Ranked by Whatnerd

"Sometimes it's good to take a step back and look at the movie industry from a higher vantage, to look beyond movies at face value and to peer behind the curtains. In this case, we're talking about movies that were created by black directors and filmmakers. The vibrant world of black cinema is often overlooked, neglected, or even brushed off for being too political. Indeed, many often associate black cinema with movies about civil rights, slavery, or poverty—but that misses out on the passion, drama, and joy of other black-made movies. Here are my picks for the best movies made by black directors and filmmakers, which is our way of celebrating underappreciated talents in a white-dominated industry." - whatnerd.com
