Collywood TV is an unusual bridge between Africa and the wider diaspora of African descent in North America and the Caribbean. Russell Southwood spoke to its founder Junior Hart about how the platform developed and how he can work with African film and TV producers.

Collywoodtv.com (C as in Caribbean) was founded by film-maker Junior Hart in 2008 but he admits that “When I formulated the idea of a streaming platform the Internet was very slow. I had to build up content until the Internet picked

Let’s go to the movies
See the  story of Jesse Owens
A true champion
Let’s see Jesse overcome
Depressing poverty
Racial humiliation
The malevolent hate-filled Adolf Hitler
And his thousands of saluting fans
Right in their Berlin backyard
To become champion
A champion of the world!
A true story
An exciting story
An inspiring story
A story that every black child
Should see!

 “I want to see Kung Fu Panda instead
Besides, Kung Fu Panda can run faster than Jesse Owens”

Dear white people: Don't ask me shit and don't tell me shit! Boycott white people!

Yes, I am boycotting white people until they go into detox and long term recovery from their full blown addiction to white supremacy lunacy or mental infantile paralysis. At this time they are a danger to themselves and others, thus qualified for the mental institution.

According the ancestor Nelson Mandela, white people are the cause of global strife with their permanent wars that benefit the 1%, especially gun m

 The Enemy Of My Enemy?
by C. Earl Campbell DA 3rd

Black Men, What do you really think about Micah X. Johnson? Who is the enemy of your enemy? While Racist White Cops Murder and Massively Incarcerate Black Men thanks to President Clinton's Crime Bill, cowardly Black Politician do nothing but give speeches.

Constantly we hear about good cops, but are they still good cops if they turn a blind eye to the evils of racist cops?  How can we not forget the cop who took a s
