The Giants WHO Got Robbed By Hollywood
Hollywood made billions, but some of its greatest architects were unpaid, sidelined, or erased.
In this episode of The Film Real, hosts Tez The Writer and Ciara break down how Melvin Van Peebles, Eric Monte, Robert Townsend and Spike Lee helped shape modern Black cinema and television--yet faced systemic barriers when it came to ownership ,power, creative control and fair compensation. This is a conversation about legacy, truth, and what today's filmmakers need to understand to protect their work.
