Episode description

The POCcorn podcast reviews films created, directed and/or starring People of Color. Each show uses four questions to describe our thoughts on the film, plus one POCcorn moment we simply MUST discuss in detail.

In this episode, we review a favorite; ⁠⁠A Thousand and One. A heartbreaking tale of mother and son, both shaped by their time in the foster care system. We watched these characters make a life together, thrive together, survive together. All while dealing with the predatory nature of gentrification in their neighborhood. And just as you think you've gotten to know these characters completely, the twist at the end proved to be even more gut wrenching than anything shown before. In short, we loved it. Listen in!
