What film with a black lead hit number 1 at the US Box Office? Oh, and didn’t star Denzel Washington or Eddie Murphy?

Well, this feature by Lee Daniels, coming soon after the truly amazing Precious will give proof to the Studios that this kind of intelligent cinema can be a hit and an investment in black filmmakers is an important step for everyone involved.

Let’s hope the floodgates truly open up and the UK follows suit.
