#40Acres

Suitable sentence [1] for most billionaires: "40 acres and a mule, and an impenetrable wall around it all".

Think they would enjoy subsistence farming?

[1] Assuming they're guilty of serious crimes, which is a fair bet. And assuming you're not a #guillotine fan.

Temporary home of a resettled family. Each farm comprises 40 acres of land leveled and suitable for irrigation. Bosque Farms Project

The image depicts a rural scene featuring a group of modest, makeshift structures with an open field in the foreground. There is one large tree on the left side and several smaller ones scattered around. The photograph appears to be black-and-white or sepia-toned. In front of these buildings are what seems like farm equipment: a tractor, possibly attached to a cart or wagon, which suggests agricultural activity.

In the center stands an old-fashioned car parked beside one of the structures with its doors open; it looks as if someone is inside. One can see three individuals near this building—one standing by the door and two others in front, though they are not clearly visible due to their distance from the camera or possible obstruction by shadows.

The text on top reads "Temporary home of a resettled family," indicating that these structures served as housing for people who were relocated. The date noted at the bottom is 1926-5; however, without more context it's unclear what exactly this refers to within relation to Dorothea Lange or Bosque Farms Project.

Additional text on top includes references such as "Bosque Farms Project," which could be indicative of a larger project focused on establishing communities in rural areas. The name 'Longe' and the number 2390 might refer to either an individual associated with this setting, potentially Dorothea Lange herself (assumin [...]

Ammunition for those people still throwing around the "Irish Slaves" mythology.

"Indentured servitude and slavery were two completely different legal and social institutions--independently horrific without falsely equating them."

NOTICE:
If you came here to say that the Irish were enslaved, your post will be declined.
Enslavement was LEGALLY confined to persons of African descent (determined by the mother's racial status).
Indentured servitude and slavery were two completely different legal and social institutions--independently horrific without falsely equating them.
Slavery was a lot more than involuntary servitude. Enslaved persons, their children, their children, etc., were slaves. They were property. They had no rights whatsoever, as determined by Dred Scott. They could not inherit or be taught how to read or write.
The Irish were not Jim Crowed and systematically lynched after the Civil War.
Other groups have been mistreated and deserve protection. Do you care about migrants, Native Americans, LGBTQ people -- or just 19th century Irish?ALSO:
If you came here to comment on Democrats and slavery, save it. That too will be declined.
The Republican Party was created by anti-slavery Democrats and Whigs. There was no preexisting Republican Party. Again, it was created by Dems and Whigs.
Also, that was the 19th century. At the time, Republicans were only northerners and southern Blacks. Southern whites switched sides after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (actually starting a bit earlier -- after Truman's civil rights efforts). Save your lies for data-free boards.Now, back to the post......
White supremacists keep posting material claiming that only 1.6% of Americans owned slaves or that only 1% of Americans were slaves. This is RIDICULOUS foolishness trying to discount the impact of slavery.
Here are some stats white supremacists ignore:
100% of slaves were BLACK
90% of Blacks were SLAVES.
0% of Whites were SLAVES
100% of Blacks--whether they were slaves or not--had NO RIGHTS and were not considered US citizens.
To the "My ancestors didn't own slaves" crowd:
Your ancestors were NOT slaves either.
This means a lot. It's called privilege.
Not having slave ancestors is privilege.
PS: For the "what about the Irish" folks: Blacks did not stage bloodbath riots against the Irish to prove that they were really "White" (try to follow along).
Google:
The Draft Riots (NYC) 1863
Philadelphia Riots of 1834, 1842, and 1871
Cincinnati Riots of 1829 and 1841 (just to name a few involving Irish and other working-class Whites engaging in mob violence against Blacks).

#40ACRES, from director R.T. Thorne, is NOW PLAYING in theaters nationwide and streaming on all rental platforms.

We sat down with CSC Awards "Theatrical Feature" nominee, DP Jeremy Benning, ASC, CSC, to discuss all things 40 ACRES, from working in the unpredictable elements on a functional farm, to seamlessly blending practical and visual effects to make the film’s not-too-distant, post-apocalyptic future a reality.

“We ended up landing on the ARRI ALEXA 35 and the MasterBuilt Soft Flare primes. When R.T. and I both looked at the lenses, we liked the slightly vintage look. They were still pretty sharp, but they had softer edges. It was a slightly older feel. It's a good sense of grittiness of the world, without too much character or too dirty looking, but also not too sharp and clean. So it was that sweet spot in those lenses.


…The Alexa had just that extra bit of detail in the very bottom end of shadow that, especially with our contrasty day interiors, night exteriors, that kind of thing, and knowing that we had a cast of a lot of different skin tones, but a lot of darker skin tones, that having that extra bit of detail to pull up in the grade if we ever wanted to lift someone's face a tiny little bit here and there, that would give us the most flexibility given the nature of our schedule.


Keslow did an amazing job supporting us… We didn't have any problems with camera gear. Everything worked. The cameras performed, all the lenses, everything performed well. It was prepped well. It was all super positive, and it was a great first experience working with Keslow.” - Jeremy Benning, ASC, CSC

For all this elbows up talk, what about Canadian films? At the theatre yesterday, Jurassic world was full but 40 Acres was empty. It's now one of my favourites.

It's about a black and indigenous family. The action and violence is secondary to this theme. Great pacing and cinematography. It all feels very Canadian if that makes sense. I'm a nobody but if you stumble on this post, go watch it!

Two reviews I wrote - #Murderbot and and the upcoming #40Acres - made it into the latest print edition of Exclaim! So that’s pretty cool.
