Uncle Tom II: An American Odyssey

Uncle Tom I & II are quite possibly the most important pieces of our time. Thoughtful and thorough with beautiful cinematography, it's so clear how much time, care, & work was poured into these films. Uncle Tom II is absolutely masterful, albeit difficult to process at times. I found myself having a lot of emotions to grapple with afterwards but as hard as the truth is to face sometimes, it's highly valuable because it sets you free! This is a must see duo for the generations. There's nothing better than starting to wise up to the deceptions in your own mind and behaviors that keep you imprisoned. The visual arts, like this film, are so important to the human experience in moving us from point A to point B. Time for the TRUTH to set us ALL FREE!!! I can't recommend this film enough.

The overall premise, (which may seem counter-intuitive) that the black population advanced to achieve greater prosperity and overall happiness, or at least, satisfaction with their standard of living and sense of self respect and dignity in the years between the Civil War and the 1964 Civil Rights Act, versus the decades post the 1960s is intelligently discussed and makes for interesting viewing (even if, from a cinetmatic perspective, this film is undistinguished). The participants in this film are to be commended for their courage in voicing a perspective that amidst current times is not politically correct.

This documentary is so well done! There is so much film footage and history telling along with a more than cautionary tale about where we are in America and could be heading, without an awakened citizenry. No American that enjoys the freedoms and incredible heritage of our great country can afford to miss this film! The history shared in this film was riveting and needs to be seen by all. If you want to know the entire truth, you owe it to yourself to get all the facts. A lot of time, research and care went into the production of this work. I am very thankful to those who produced this work of art.

I watched the first Uncle Tom and was amazed at the different angle of looking at the history and the personal stories of those involved so I was excited to see Uncle Tom 2. I was not disappointed at tonights premier in Dallas! All involved put their heart and soul into a well researched, thought provoking but sometimes hard to watch film that continued to open my eyes but at the same time leave me with a heavy heart. I truly hope people can watch with an open mind to see that there is a planned division that doesn't need to continue. Truly great job by all involved...look forward to number three!

I was a young teen when the race riots were happening. Every night on the news I learned so much and became enamored with Martin Luther King spreading the message of love. When MLK was assassinated, it confirmed that he had the true message. At that point Jessie Jackson and Al Sharptin stepped in to foster hate between the races. Uncle Tom II confirms everything I always learned about the races and so much more. My best friend as a teen was black, but I didn't think of him as black, he was just a friend. As a 4 year old in the 50's I was riding in the car with my mother and older sister, I saw a black man walking on the sidewalk and questioned my mother about him being black Me "What is wrong with that man?" Mom "He is a normal person like you and me only his skin is a different color". I love my mother for that and have never forgotten even at 69 years old. So when you black people believe the message of hatered towards whites, you can believe there are millions of white people with similar stories to mine, and who love you regardless of skin color.
