Blaxploitalian "100 Years of Blackness in Italian Cinema" (2016), a diasporic, hybrid, critical, and cosmopolitan dimension documentary that uncovers the careers of a population of entertainers seldom heard from before: African-Americans, African, Caribbeans and Afro-Italian actors in Italian cinema. Blaxploitalian cleverly discloses the personal struggles classic Afro-Italian and African diasporic actors faced, correlating it with the contemporary actors who call-to-action for increased diversity and esteem in international cinema. Thus our alternative aim is for the stories in Blaxploitalian to serve as a call-to-action, with the intention of challenging worldwide mainstream filmmakers and audiences into calling for an enhancement and practicing of ethnic and racial diversity for important roles in international film/media industries.
