Descendant (2022)

"...In 1860, 110 people from the West African country now known as Benin were illegally transported to Mobile, Alabama, aboard The Clotilda, a ship that was burned by its owner, Timothy Meaher, to cover up his crimes. More than a century later, Margaret Brown’s new documentary Descendant tells the story of the families of those brought over on The Clotilda, who now form the community of Africatown, and how the recent discovery of the shipwreck has compelled them to grapple with a century of mythmaking, the lasting forces of oppression and a shared path toward justice."

Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America (2021)

"In Who We Are: A Chronicle of Racism in America, Robinson shows us how legalized discrimination and state-sanctioned brutality, murder, dispossession, and disenfranchisement continued long after slavery ended, profoundly impeding Black Americans’ ability to create and accumulate wealth as well as to gain access to jobs, housing, education, and health care. Weaving heartbreak, humor, passion, and rage, Robinson’s words lay bare an all-but-forgotten past, as well as our shared responsibility to create a better country in our lifetimes."
