2024 we're going to be less isolated more connected more grounded more love more joy more fighting for what's right more truth more honesty and killing the little bastard inside of you that wants you to be ashamed and timid and safe and repressed

Statues also Die is a good film for those interested in art and museums. Commissioned and partially paid by Présence Africaine it was released in 1953. The film shows how the treatement of African art (called Art Nègre at the time and considered simpler) and Colonialism erased African cultures and denied African and Black people the dignity of their past. It was forbidden as in the ‘50 French still had colonies in Africa, it was allowed on 1963. 

You can watch it here in (French with English subtitles) [many scenes of colonial France and an animals suffering dying]
