Glover and his film company
I hope more of my posts in the blog will be about "Films and the diaspora". That is what my interest is.
In the headlines today "Danny Glover" actor from the "Lethal Weapon" movies, has started afilm company Louverture Films which "will support the employment and training of cast and crew from the African Diaspora, minorities and/or marginalized communities," says Glover's publicist Arnold Robinson in a statment.
The actor wants to make films of historical relevance with a social purpose.
Maybe this is a solution to make more meaningful movies on the diaspora.
A heart wrenching report on Africa's top film festival, Fespaco.....movies mainly funded by ex-rulers, who call the SHOTS!
