"As a filmmaker, my first opportunity to make a film with somewhat of a budget was pitched to me as 'a city of God' but in English, in the US.' Rootsflix is a place where we can enjoy films that aren't full of murder and blaxploitation. I wanted to create a place for all the films that have fallen through the cracks on the distribution tip, because they lie outside stereo-typical representations of people of color." joshua bee alafia

A MOVEMENT

"Art in the Spirit of Liberation. We believe in sharing art that liberates internal and external oppression, delusion, dysfunction and negativity. We are committed to bringing films that celebrate earth, life, love and that creation rebel spirit that makes a film, "roots."
