WHITE VIOLENCE and BLACK PAIN

Director Nia DaCosta released a haunting new short film and trailer for the upcoming ‘CANDYMAN‘. This shadow puppet driven trailer with the classic Philip Glass ‘Helen’s Theme‘ shows the crimes of “white violence and black pain“. It follows the lineage of white hate towards African Americans to the point that they create the MONSTER.

“CANDYMAN, at the intersection of white violence and black pain, is about unwilling martyrs. The people they were, the symbols we turn them into, the monsters we are told they must have been.” – Nia DaCosta

CANDYMAN’S release date is September 25, 2020. Check out the trailer below and let Latin Horror know what you think?
