Soooooo watching this movie. Yes, yes, yes. OMG. I just read about Dido Belle Lindsay... so I'm so watching it. I know it has a bit of minority pathological porn to it with the slavery talk, but it overturns other stereotypes that makes me watch it more.
Black woman shown as rich <3 YES!
Black woman shown as intelligent. Yes!
Black Woman shown as main protagonist in a movie that's not 100% black. (i.e. relegated tho "black movie")
Black woman in England in a time period where people stereotypically think the population was all white. Yes!
Servant class is shown and the real implications of that.
I get that it's still showing the main issue being slavery/abolition/racism, but I think enough of that is awesome and she was one awesome woman anyway.
Anyone else watching it?

I probably will write a review when I see it.
