TAN [Available March 24 on Amazon Prime Video platform.] Adrian Younge's surreal, black-and-white, powerful, eye-opening, poignant, timely, dark, well-written, creative, thought-provoking, 22-minute film, which is a companion piece to The American Negro, that explores racism and bigotry in America through gut-wrenching discussions among five damaged "souls" who have entered an eerie netherworld, including a young white woman (Jazlyn Sward) who blames herself for her failures, but identifies with the Blacks because she knows she will never be accepted by proper white society; the grille-wearing "gang banger" (Monte Bell) who realistically sees the world as being unfairly stacked against him, knowing he has no chance after dying by asphyxiation; the Black preacher (Dewitt Brown) who seems to be saying that Blacks are losers because they don't adhere to his interpretation of the Bible, but ignores the fact that "all have sinned" and takes special pleasure in playing God; the Black gay guy (Darius Levante) who is hated by society for the two traits over which he had no control; and the white cop (Steven Bartlett) who takes out his internal anger and frustration by killing others because he cannot cope with the realities of his own life.
