00:00:00.419 --> 00:00:03.002
(upbeat music)

2
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:05.550
- I am so excited, you know?

3
00:00:05.550 --> 00:00:08.100
Any spaces that we can
get into as Black people

4
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.250
that we have not, like,
ruptured those spaces before,

5
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:13.770
I'm into it, and so
the horror comedy realm

6
00:00:13.770 --> 00:00:16.050
is still fairly new for Black people.

7
00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:18.900
Not so new for individual Black people,

8
00:00:18.900 --> 00:00:21.750
but groups, I mean, this is fairly new.

9
00:00:21.750 --> 00:00:23.940
- The best part of film as a visual medium

10
00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:24.930
and a visual art

11
00:00:24.930 --> 00:00:28.590
is that you get to
progressively influence culture,

12
00:00:28.590 --> 00:00:32.040
inspire culture, elevate
culture, and change culture,

13
00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:33.630
and I'm hoping that this
is another precedent

14
00:00:33.630 --> 00:00:35.370
of us doing all of that together.

15
00:00:35.370 --> 00:00:36.990
I'm really, really excited to see

16
00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:38.760
what it does for the future,

17
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:40.920
you know, that we make not only our movie

18
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:42.630
a success Juneteenth weekend,

19
00:00:42.630 --> 00:00:44.640
but that Juneteenth becomes a weekend

20
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:46.470
historically that people are vying for

21
00:00:46.470 --> 00:00:49.383
to create great content and
put it out during that weekend.

22
00:00:49.383 --> 00:00:51.480
♪ Anthem, put your hand
up that you shoot with ♪

23
00:00:51.480 --> 00:00:54.070
- That is what we do on Juneteenth!

24
00:00:55.890 --> 00:00:58.590
- So now this is debuting
during Juneteenth weekend

25
00:00:58.590 --> 00:01:00.240
as the same way it's a
gathering that's happening

26
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:02.160
during Juneteenth in the actual movie.

27
00:01:02.160 --> 00:01:04.020
If we don't get reparations,

28
00:01:04.020 --> 00:01:06.240
what is something you would
want America to give you

29
00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:07.323
as a Black American?

30
00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:11.460
- If I don't get
reparations, what do I want?

31
00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:14.160
If I don't get my 40 acres
and a mule, what do I want?

32
00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:17.790
- If I couldn't get cash, I
would want systemic change.

33
00:01:17.790 --> 00:01:20.070
I would want white people to
give up power immediately.

34
00:01:20.070 --> 00:01:21.450
- I would really want the reparations

35
00:01:21.450 --> 00:01:26.250
that all of my ancestors
and everybody here

36
00:01:26.250 --> 00:01:28.800
that worked so hard for
us to be able to set foot

37
00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:31.380
in this opportunity and this
precedent to get property

38
00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:34.110
and land that they can
pass on in perpetuity

39
00:01:34.110 --> 00:01:34.943
to their family.

40
00:01:34.943 --> 00:01:38.340
- I really do got a good
suggestion for reparations

41
00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:39.173
that will make sense.

42
00:01:39.173 --> 00:01:41.850
I feel like it should be
tax breaks for Black people,

43
00:01:41.850 --> 00:01:42.690
you know what I mean?

44
00:01:42.690 --> 00:01:46.680
- Respect is number one,
celebrating our art.

45
00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:49.268
Number two, treating us
the way that we treat,

46
00:01:49.268 --> 00:01:50.730
like I treat "The Notebook."

47
00:01:50.730 --> 00:01:52.350
I didn't look at it as a white love story.

48
00:01:52.350 --> 00:01:54.420
I looked at it as a story about love.

49
00:01:54.420 --> 00:01:57.330
- What would the reparation,
I mean, I think land.

50
00:01:57.330 --> 00:02:00.360
I feel like there's
nothing like ownership.

51
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:03.240
Anywhere you look, anywhere you go,

52
00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:05.823
you can own a piece of
Earth, a piece of soil.

53
00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:10.203
Come on, that's currency right there.

54
00:02:11.275 --> 00:02:13.692
(soft music)
