Movie #1584 ........................."Bodega" --- a short

Movie #1584 "Bodega" was the second film in the Black Lens series --the film was done by Donna Augustin and Talibah L. Newman.  I thought this one was topical --- it concerned a muslim old man/store owner whose daughter was waiting on a black customer and the grandpa suggested the black woman had shoplifted and she jumped on that and asked for an apology --- he wouldn't give it -- so the situation escalated to flyers given out in front of the store, to protests, and even worse....it made me think that if everyone supported each other and were more tolerant, we could all share in a neighborhood.  The film dealt wit unfortunate circumstances because we seem to be living in a divisive society ---- I'd give this a 5 out of 5 stars.  Very effective ending.
