Lewis, Editor

After viewing the trailers, which were somewhat confusing and pur - posely vague, I really didn't want to see the film Get Out . There was something creepy and very disturbing about the TV ads about the film that I just couldn’t put my finger on. But then a couple of my friends and colleagues told me that not seeing it was not an option, that I needed to see it sooner rather than later. When I did, I figured out why. Get Out is a very disturbing and unsettling film that captures the current state of "race relations" in America better than most of the films on the sil - ver screen today. It unearths some very old practices in America that date back to the days when this nation was called the New World. It gives the world a vivid glimpse of America's underbelly, and S shines a spotlight on unseemly realities that people don't talk about at parties or over a meal.

N While I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it yet, I will say that Get Out is a film that every brother and sister needs to see in order to better grasp what people of African descent and white people of good will are
