Hollywood shuffle
Blu-ray - 2023
A satire on the ups and downs of being a black actor in Hollywood. Bobby Taylor, a young black actor whose attempts to find work are dashed when told that he's not "black enough" for the roles being offered. With jobs limited to stereotypes (gang-bangers, pimps and Uncle Toms'), Bobby's struggles are told through a series of comic fantasies and dreams.
