Invictus (Feat. Fatimah Gilliam)

White People Won't Save You

Award season has come to an end, so we look back at a past awards darling to see how it holds up today. Spoiler, it doesn't. 2009's Invictus tells the story of Nelson Mandela and the 1995 South African World Cup rugby team and earned Oscar nominations for both Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. Lucky for us, Fatimah Gilliam (author of Race Rules: What Your Black Friend Won't Tell You) is here to help us break it all down!

We discuss Mandela's rugby obsession, the lack of apartheid in a movie about apartheid, and what exactly this movie wants us to feel good about?

You have to check out Fatimah's book! As she says, go order it a Black bookstore, go request at your local library, and rate it on Amazon to help work that algorithm! You can also find Fatimah on Twitter @fatimahgilliam and on Instagram @fatimah_gilliam

We have live show stuff coming soon! April we'll have two shows, one in Brooklyn and one in Baltimore and then the following month in May we'll be back in NY for a show in Manhattan. Dates are coming soon, but come out and see your boys! Follow us on Twitter at @white_pod for more details! We'll see you soon!
