This past week I went on an Urban Movie Channel Black documentary binge. Normally I stick with history (Eyes on the Prize is a favorite), or random topics, but these 6 had me on the edge of my seat.

All these documentaries are found on the Urban Movie Channel – the first subscription movie streaming service made for Black and urban audiences.

They Don’t Give a Damn: The Story of the Failed Chicago Projects

The film is based on Dr. Dorothy Appiah‘s book titled Where Will They Go?: Transforming Public Housing in the City of Chicago.

Everyone felt that the ‘projects’ were just an experiment that failed… Everyone felt they were built for political reasons, and torn down for political reasons,” – Kenny Young; Director

If you want to truly understand how ‘Chiraq’ became the battleground that it is, this documentary will give you a new piece of the puzzle.

The Man Who Mends Women

This is the heartbreaking, spellbinding story of real-life hero Dr. Denis Mukwege, a gynecologist and a human rights activist who mended thousands of women who have been raped during the 20 years of conflicts in the East of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. From saving the lives of women who would have otherwise been “raped to death” to healing the mind & spirit of a woman who has been broken, this film is visually beautiful, a stark contrast to the violence known in Congo. It is a rare gem and a must watch.
