Watch the film, Judas and the Black Messiah
This week you will watch the film, Judas and the Black Messiah. It is for rent ($3.99) through multiple steaming services: https://www.judasandtheblackmessiah.com/. It is also streaming for free with Hulu and HBO Max subscriptions. This should be the only course content that you have to pay for this semester. The film was co-produced by Ryan Coogler (director of the Black Panther); Shaka King, the film\’s director and co-writer, was a philosophy major!
While I am assigning this film as our \’case study\’ for our next unit on Kant, King, and Wells, you will find that it also has strong connections our earlier consideration of moral virtues and friendship.
