“Bamboozled,” part of the African Film Series, will be shown in the University Union, Ballroom, at 6 p.m., Feb. 26.

Produced by Spike Lee, “Bamboozled,” is about the pitfalls and prejudices of a network television station. This movie takes a look at how various aspects of life, such as race, ratings, and the pursuit of power, lead to a television writer?s incredible rise and tragic fall.

Damon Wayons (“In Living Color”) stars as Pierre Delacroix, a Harvard graduate turned writer, who is the only colored person working for an upstart network company. Despite several attempts to get his ideas into production, Delacroix has failed. His hungry rating-boss has also given him an ultimatum: to either come up with a hot headline making, trend setting hit or get fired.

Part two of the series is a movie titled, “Love Come Down,” a story about two brothers, one black and one white, who explore many issues of family, addiction, love and identity.The African Film Series concludes in May with a movie titled, “Otomo.” “Otomo” is a story based on an incident that took place in 1969 that shocked the inner city of Stuttgart, and prompted weeks of controversy within the media.

“Bamboozled” is s a mixture of comedy and social commentary. This film also stars Jada Pinkett-Smith, Savion Glover, Tommy Davidson and Thomas Jefferson Byrd. Following the movie is a dialogue led by Dr. Phyliss Jackson, and “Bamboozled?s” own Thomas Jefferson Byrd. These two keynote speakers will have a panel discussion of the issue?s that are brought out within the film. Entrance to this event is free of charge.
