For the last few weeks, we've discussed and viewed a couple of these controversial films known as Blaxploitation cinema. We've identified queer components, global impact, historical events, and many other topics. Perhaps these dialogues will inspire you to seek out other films to watch from this genre.
As always, I'd like to pose a question to generate another dialogue. Do you think Blaxploitation films served a purpose of providing a voice for the black community then? And, are these films still relevant today? Please be as specific as possible by providing reasons to explain your responses.
