It is inevitably fraught for a white critic like me to discuss a work of art specifically about the Black American experience.
There’s a risk of coming off as patronizing at best and appropriative at worst, of seemingly trying to relate the pain, trauma, and horror that often rests on Black Americans to the personal pains white viewers may face in day-to-day life. Great art tells universal stories out of specific experiences, and it is possible and even desirable for white viewers to find personal resonance in the experiences of protagonists in movies like

While politicians battle critical race theory, the progressive dogma and its offshoot, the
New York Times’ 1619 Project, have already taken hold in Hollywood. This week’s example is the Barry Jenkins series
The Underground Railroad, now streaming on Amazon and warping America’s racial history for anyone who watches it.
This ten-episode program is a big-ticket item meant to confirm Jenkins’s seriousness in which he dramatizes the efforts by two slaves, Cora (Thuso Mbedu) and Caesar (Aaron Pierre), to escape Southern tyranny and go north, where their struggle continues. Jenkins’s convoluted opus is bankrolled by an industry that already hailed his film

In Moonlight director Barry Jenkins adaptation of Colson Whitehead s celebrated 2016 novel The Underground Railroad, a conductor claims that riding its rails will show the true face of America.
The new Amazon miniseries (streaming Friday, ★★★½ out of four) certainly endeavors to do that, via a vast epic of pain and trauma, yes, but also humanization and occasional rays of light. The primary conceit of Whitehead s novel is that the metaphorical Underground Railroad in the antebellum South – a historical network of routes and safe houses used by enslaved African Americans to escape to the Northern U.S. or Canada during slavery – was a literal one, with trains, conductors and stations.
