For The Love Of Movies... Can We Talk?Trailer Watch - A New Teaser Of Nelson George's "Migrations" With Chris Rock
Helen (Tigist Selam) is the collector, a gatherer of objects and people for the Liberators, an international organization that steals African art from European museums and galleries and ships them back home. Unfortunately Interpol is after the Liberators and Helen is on the run even as she seeks the Three Medallions of Ethiopia.
His documentary, Brooklyn Boheme, is still on the festival circuit and if you missed Tambay's podcast interview with him, where he talks about the production and the state of black films in general, you can go HERE.

The synopsis sounded tight. The trailer IMO failed to tell me anything about the movie's premise. It looked like a New York Film Academy exercise. Having celebrity friends like Chris Rock, Saul Williams and Carl Hancock Rux's doesn't sell me or the story. Hope Mr. George will step his cinematic game up to match this great idea.

WHY are trailers 2 minutes long and still not a proper representation of the damn movie? If I hadn't read the damn synopsis I would have skipped the thing 1 minute in.

The music is beautiful in this trailer. I wish their was more description of what the film is about in the trailer. I'll be looking for this on the festival circuit.
