Shadrach

Apologies! We've had a few technical issues but we've got an all timer for you coming from the depths of white savior hell. Shadrach is a painful watch. Not simply because of the subject matter (a 99 year old slave WALKS from Alabama to Virginia to die on the plantation he was born on) but for the fact that they treat this full grown Black man like a prop. 

We dig into the history of the short story the film is based on, what kind of horrible make-up job they did on this man and read some of the absolutely insane reviews people left for this film.
