DESCRIPTION:Join KPFA for our next monthly movie matinee as we screen Bamboozled, a 
 blistering satirical comedy-drama film highlighting television’s pitfalls 
 and prejudices. Pierre Delacroix, a young, Harvard-educated man, is the 
 sole person of color, writing for an upstart network with floundering 
 ratings. Despite several attempts, Delacroix has yet to see any of his 
 concepts go into production. He gets the bright idea, partially in an 
 attempt to get fired, to modernize a minstrel show… and it 
 takes.\n\nWritten and directed by Spike Lee the movie merges America’s 
 shameful, racist past of minstrel shows (with white and black actors 
 donning blackface to exaggerate and perpetuate the racist stereotypes of 
 the day), to current day “minstrel shows,” that exaggerate the black 
 stereotypes of our time, without the actors in blackface. Not to mention 
 present-day public personalities getting in trouble for wearing, or 
 speaking lightly of, blackface. Lee seems to assert that the present day 
 “minstrel shows” are simply minstrel shows by another name. The movie 
 features an ensemble cast including Damon Wayans, Jada Pinkett Smith, 
 Savion Glover, Tommy Davidson, Michael Rapaport, and Mos Def. Sharp, edgy 
 and full of strong language and imagery, Bamboozled makes you think… how 
 much has actually changed since the days of the minstrel show?\n\nSo join 
 us on Saturday, February 23 at 3 PM at the New Parkway Theater for a Black 
 History Month screening of Bamboozled and stay after the movie for a 
 post-movie discussion, hosted by KPFA’s Greg Bridges, on the mezzanine.
