Uncle Tom II: An American Odyssey

Emotional and in-your-face, this surprising, instructive, fact-based exposé of the history of blacks in America that you did not know presents the origins of the Civil Rights movement, the NAACP, and Black Lives Matter. It explores and the prominence of-and the powers behind-figures like W. E. B. Du Bois, George Washington Carver, and even Martin Luther King, it is also full of love and heart. While those topics would make it appear to be about race in America, unexpectedly it is not. But it IS about America. If you're curious and/or a history buff, you'll be led, as I was, to further investigation as well as anticipation for Uncle Tom III.

Crafted with obvious love and dedication to truth, Uncle Tom II is rife with light-bulb moments and unexpected facts, a history that you were not taught. Widely accepted "truths" are repeatedly disproven by contemporary video. While there's an impressive amount of new factual material, it is innovatively personal, with an easy and conversational style despite the hard-hitting revelations. If you want to understand what's going on in America, and how we got where we are, this is a must-see movie.
