          1. How did the existence of this film on anticolonial resistance slip past me? Watching "Concerning Violence" (2014), a Fanonian meditation by the same director as "Black Power Mixtape," and narrated by Lauryn Hill.

          0. Gayatri Spivak in her office, surrounded by decades worth of reading, offers the opening, a philosopher's benediction on Frantz Fanon.

        1. Five minutes in and I've probably already seen a more intimate video relation of anticolonial military resistance than on offer from mainstream film in much of my lifetime. For precedents, I'm forced to fall back on Battle of Algiers, and that was staged, foreign, monochrome.

      Side note: In Western film, resistance to occupation is generally displaced to sci-fi/fantasy, or to WW2 (think Defiance). People of color resisting white occupation generally strikes too close to home. This is what made District 11 in The Hunger Games so shocking.
