      @oneconcerned, there wasn’t a positive message to American Gangster. It was a biopic of Frank Lucas who was one of the biggest heroin dealers of all time.
      He also set up his operation to try and be like the Italians. He wanted to be a black Don.
      American Gangster was released two months before The Great Debaters meaning that AG was on its out way of the box office by the time the next movie was released.
      American Gangster made $266M at the box office. It was a blockbuster film.
      The Great Debaters did $30M. It was never meant to be blockbuster. At most it was meant to be a low budget movie that made you feel good. It was also released in late December as “Oscar bait.”
      Leave the conspiracies alone.

    This is a very well put together documentary 👏 however the movie-bio is destined to be a blockbuster but should be an independent film with no boundaries or restrictions to Hollywood
    Snoop is perfect for the role. Netflix should be all over it $$. Keep the narrator she is definitely the one!

    I love her voice and cadence. Makes Filmore Slim sound like a great guy sans pimping.
