Anti-Racist Movies to Watch

This is a collection of films that challenge both racist ideas and the current understanding of what racism is: it is not enough to be "not racist." We must acknowledge how racism infiltrates all of our personal and social lives as well as the systems we live under. These films are there to challenge and provoke, to uplift and to rise up.
