If you can find b*stards at the Party, its easily one of the best Black documentaries ever made. It was made by HBO back in the day and it details the history of the Crips and Bloods; it interviews many older members and shows how their gangs were strictly neighborhood improvement and protection from the racist police groups until federal subversiveness and drugs were pumped into their areas. Powerful historical documentary that needs a re-release.
The Upright man is a documentary that details the life of African leader Thomas Sankara who was the President of Burkina Faso.Another good documentary I watched is called Spies of Mississippi. The documentary shows how the government used Black spies to attempt to infiltrate and sabotage the Civil Rights movement.
PBS independent lens has heat. The aforementioned spies of Mississippi , soulfood junkies, and the trials of Muhammad Ali. The ali doc has very little to do about boxing -- this doc examines his relationship with the noi.
