I got Destination Planet Negro from the library and decided to watch it today. It's science fiction.
It's got space ships, robots, time travel and Negros. It's 1939 and some black men have built a rocket ship that they want to take to Mars so the black man can have a home of his own. The rocket takes off and the three astronauts wind up in the future. They interact with the people of our 2013 world and have some adventures.
It's well made, good actors, and a good script. Kevin Willmott is the writer and director of the movie and he plays the professor at George Washing Carver University who takes the trip with his daughter and their pilot. Kevin does a great job. It's got a nice sense of humor, some good social commentary, and a happy ending. Well, happy for the black and red man, not so much for the redneck racist asshole and the Uncle Tom's. I'd highly recommend it.
