Lenny Kravitz Live: Just Let Go (Documentary Trailer)
On the road, on the stage, behind the scenes, in the personal space, and even in the mindspace of Lenny Kravitz. Sure, it’s a documentary; but it’s a trip. And like you heard Lenny say: It’s all about the trip, man!

Watch the above trailer for “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” (due in theaters in December 2016).
Suicide Squad (International Trailer)
“Suicide Squad” is hitting U.S. movie goers in the head with the spiked bat come August 2016. Prediction. Scratch that. FACTS! And as you can see, this comic-gone-TV-gone-action-movie mega-cast epic is already an international event (leading up to and through its September 2016 release to the rest of the world).
Interesting factoid to chew on before you digest the new trailer: Harley Quinn is NOT originally a DC comic book character. She is a TV creation, “born” on the Batman: The Animated Series cartoon from the 1990s. Now she here! Now the whole f#cking team here, yeah!
Pelé: Birth of a Legend (Trailer)
Quick! Name a soccer legend. Off top, that name you just blurted was Pelé (and if it was someone else’s, you are ready to revise right now). Facts. And it looks like this biopic on the brother from Brasil was done right. Bravo! “Pelé: Birth of a Legend” hits theater screens May 13, 2016.
“… the miraculous story of the legendary soccer player’s rise to glory from a young boy, to the 17 year old who scored the winning goal in Brazil’s first ever World Cup victory in 1958. From a life full of disadvantages and an impoverished youth in Brazil, Pelé used his unorthodox yet authentic style of play and his unbeatable spirit to overcome all odds, find greatness and inspire a country that he changed forever.”

Unforgivable Blackness (Documentary Trailer)
Sometimes it takes outsiders to tell you about yourself. PBS America – out of the United Kingdom – put out this documentary on the first Black American boxing champion, Jack Johnson. Dude was ahead of his time ways that would still scare a good amount of White people today. Just saying.
This film by Ken Burns tells the story of one of the greatest boxers of all time and his refusal to accept the rules of a society that considered people of his colour to be second-class citizens. This is the story of a man who refused to recognise racial differences and who forced America to reconsider its very definition of freedom.
Check out this trailer. Watching this documentary would be the way to end your Black History Month viewing with a bang…to the rib cage. Damn. Johnson was a baaaad maaan (Muhammad Ali voice).
The Version Of ‘Straight Outta Compton’ That Might Have Won An Oscar (Video)
Starring Paul Giamatti…Hahahaaaaa! Satire so perfect it deserves an Academy Award! Check out this Super Deluxe trailer ‘remix’ for the box office hit that was not quite acclaimed enough for The Oscars – “Straight Outta Compton.”
For your consideration: He wasn’t afraid to take a chance, and became the most important figure in hip hop history. Two-time Golden Globe winner Paul Giamatti (“Sideways”) stars in “Straight Out of Compton,” a biopic about Hip-Hop pioneer and N.W.A. creator Jerry Heller, a courageous man who risked it all and sparked a music revolution.
Neshoba: The Price of Freedom (Documentary Trailer)
“Neshoba: The Price of Freedom” tells the story of a Mississippi town still divided about the meaning of justice, 40 years after the murders of civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Michael Schwerner, an event dramatized in the Oscar-winning film, “Mississippi Burning.” Although Klansmen bragged about what they did in 1964, no one was held accountable until 2005, when the State indicted preacher Edgar Ray Killen, an 80-year-old notorious racist and mastermind of the murders. Through exclusive interviews with Killen, intimate interviews with the victims’ families, and candid interviews with Black and White Neshoba County citizens still struggling with their town’s violent past, the film explores whether the prosecution of one unrepentant Klansman constitutes justice and whether healing and reconciliation are possible without telling the unvarnished truth.
The Murder of Fred Hampton (Documentary Trailer)
‘All Power To The People’ as a concept should not scare us. Fred Hampton’s stance in the above trailer comes through just as plain and clear on grainy archival footage as it would were he standing flat-footed saying it to our faces today: ‘If you are scared of socialism…you are scared of yourselves.’Â How deep is that?!
This trailer was made before Fred Hampton’s death when the film was to be called “Black Panther.” It shows Hampton (August 30, 1948 — December 4, 1969) giving a speech on revolution and racism in front of a large audience. Includes glimpses of Panthers Bobby Rush and Bobby Seale and filmmaker Howard Alk. This trailer is not included in the DVD release of the film.
