Gerima....Awesome DEBUT!!!

Residue is a beautiful and meaningful film filled with deep character emotion, powerful images, and nostalgic memories. The film's characters are believable.

Although the movie is filmed in Washington, DC, this movie does NOT portray the downtown sections of the city (i.e. The White House, The Monument, The Capitol), but rather the sections of the city that show how black folks live and how they cope with gentrification...and Jay (Obina Nwachukwu) says it best: "these white folks are gonna paint over the city like we never existed!"

From the music (go-go), to the slang (he moved "out Merr-lin"), to the attitude of the characters...Gerima has done a great job in capturing the true black culture of DC. This film is necessary! #DCStillOurs #DontMuteDC
