Expert Solution

The film is meant to create a safe space through which the existence of persistent legacy of slavery can be discussed by both the blacks and white people. By reversing the role of people like Abraham Lincoln, the viewer is forced to question whether his abolitionist agenda against slavery was morally motivated or politically driven (McKenzey). It is a film that calls for the unlearning of the history of black slavery and for the learning of it for what it is; a tool for control. It forces the viewers to confront the core of slavery and its continued existence in America. It forces one to ask themselves, why does slavery exist in a country where there are rights, and regulations put in place to stop it. As such, it forces the black person to ask themselves if they have let continued slavery to happen to them due to centuries of social programming.
