Uncle Tom II: An American Odyssey

Uncle Tom I & II are quite possibly the most important pieces of our time. Thoughtful and thorough with beautiful cinematography, it's so clear how much time, care, & work was poured into these films. Uncle Tom II is absolutely masterful, albeit difficult to process at times. I found myself having a lot of emotions to grapple with afterwards but as hard as the truth is to face sometimes, it's highly valuable because it sets you free! This is a must see duo for the generations. There's nothing better than starting to wise up to the deceptions in your own mind and behaviors that keep you imprisoned. The visual arts, like this film, are so important to the human experience in moving us from point A to point B. Time for the TRUTH to set us ALL FREE!!! I can't recommend this film enough.

I was a young teen when the race riots were happening. Every night on the news I learned so much and became enamored with Martin Luther King spreading the message of love. When MLK was assassinated, it confirmed that he had the true message. At that point Jessie Jackson and Al Sharptin stepped in to foster hate between the races. Uncle Tom II confirms everything I always learned about the races and so much more. My best friend as a teen was black, but I didn't think of him as black, he was just a friend. As a 4 year old in the 50's I was riding in the car with my mother and older sister, I saw a black man walking on the sidewalk and questioned my mother about him being black Me "What is wrong with that man?" Mom "He is a normal person like you and me only his skin is a different color". I love my mother for that and have never forgotten even at 69 years old. So when you black people believe the message of hatered towards whites, you can believe there are millions of white people with similar stories to mine, and who love you regardless of skin color.

If I had no interest in the subject matter at all, this is an incredible documentary. VERY well done, meticulously researched, seamlessly presented. Then there's the content... if you are unaware of the true history of "black America" you will have your mind blown. If you are aware of any of the aspects discussed in this film, you will be reminded how treacherous the movement is, and how important it is to stand and speak up for Truth. Once again the filmmakers assembled the top minds on the subject, with lived experience to back it up, the courage of their conviction, and demonstrated integrity. Watch it. Watch it again. Then, show it to someone else.

All the history we were never taught...

The movie does a masterful job of presenting a massive amount of history, backed up by facts, recordings, and video in just under two hours. As someone who pays a lot of attention to the current cultural revolution underway in this country and has a reasonably good knowledge of US history, I was absolutely blown away by how much I really didn't know. Apart from the massive amount of information being presented, the director did an absolutely phenomenal job in making the movie interesting, coherent, and compelling from the first scene to the last. It's an emotional journey for anyone that loves this country. One cannot help but feel a sense of urgency, deep despair and, frankly, anger as the pieces come together to reveal just how far the enemies of the United States have come in their effort to destroy our great country.

This is a must see movie. I don't know whatever else might be on your plate at the moment, but you need to set aside two hours of time in the next couple of days to watch it!

The overall premise, (which may seem counter-intuitive) that the black population advanced to achieve greater prosperity and overall happiness, or at least, satisfaction with their standard of living and sense of self respect and dignity in the years between the Civil War and the 1964 Civil Rights Act, versus the decades post the 1960s is intelligently discussed and makes for interesting viewing (even if, from a cinetmatic perspective, this film is undistinguished). The participants in this film are to be commended for their courage in voicing a perspective that amidst current times is not politically correct.
