Reimagining Middle-Earth: An All-Black 'Lord of the Rings'

This chapter explores the lack of representation of Black characters in major fantasy films, specifically the 'Lord of the Rings' franchise. The speakers propose an all-Black adaptation, humorously branding it 'Lord of the Roots,' while discussing logistics such as filming locations and cultural inclusivity. Their passionate argument advocates for increased diversity in storytelling within the fantasy genre and highlights the potential for a film that resonates with the Black community.
