3828832835?profile=originalDirected by Tariq Nasheed, best selling author and podcaster of the popular “Tariq Elite Radio” show, Hidden Colors 3 is a film steeped in history, but focused on contemporary matters. Of note- at the showing, Dr. Kaba Kamene (formerly known as Prof. Booker T. Coleman) addressed the attendees. In addition to Dr. Kamene, this film featured scholars and authors Dr. Frances Cress Welsing, Phil Valentine, Joy Degruy, Umar Johnson, Khalil Gibran Muhammad, Carol Anderson, and Shahrazad Ali. To mix it up, we also heard from socially conscious entertainers Dick Gregory, Paul Mooney, David Banner, and Nas.
Hidden Colors 3 intersperses commentary from the aforementioned people, and blends it with archival photos and media from our time. What I enjoyed most is how this film spoke about Black inventors and how their inventions were stolen. After seeing it, you will look differently at Thomas Edison. Not a punch was pulled. In particular, some of the murkiest subject matter was the issue of missing people and organ harvesting. There were some aspects of the film that were equal parts enlightening- and infuriating. The fact that this documentary deals explicitly with Black people finding solutions to their own problems themselves, expect some backlash. There was very little coddling, and the question of whether or not there really are allies of Black people was raised in a way in which is sure to ruffle some feathers.
