LeBron James’ SpringHill Company, CNN Films Team on ‘Dreamland: The Rise and Fall of Black Wall Street’

“Dreamland: The Rise and Fall of Black Wall Street” is currently in production. It is directed and produced by Salima Koroma , and executive produced by James and Carter, as well as by Jamal Henderson, and Philip Byron of The SpringHill Company, and Amy Entelis and Courtney Sexton of CNN Films. Jamila Jordan-Theus and Patrick Altema of The SpringHill Company are co-executive producers for the film.

The tragic events documented in “Dreamland: The Rise and Fall of Black Walls Street” unfolded after a 17-year-old white woman accused a 19-year-old African American man of inappropriate behavior in an elevator. When a white mob attempted to lynch the accused, they were rebuked by African American World War I veterans. The backlash resulted in the destruction of 35 city blocks and hundreds of murdered African Americans.

The feature film will include a mix of archival media, contemporary interviews, and narrated elements such as letters and diary entries. It will also include footage of the century-long search for physical evidence of the mass murder that some had tried to erase from the historic record. The partners expect the film to be completed in early 2021.

TheSpringHillCo All well and good but we need more than another historical racism lesson. The documentary must include the link to why reparations is needed today to right the wrongs done to Native Black Americans (ADOS)
