20 Films by Black Directors Challenge 2025

Host Challenge here!

Watched 52/20

The challenge is to watch 20 previously unseen films by Black directors and to review them.
This is my second time doing this challenge and last year I logged 46, so I hope to beat that this year.
Throwing in some shorts this time around, too.

I'll be adding to the list, ranked in order of viewing, as I go.
