By the end of the film Van Peebles says that nothing has changed from the start of cinema until today. We finally get to the blaxploitation pictures, which is showcased as people black artists striking back but throughout the entire documentary there's nothing but talk about equality yet these films were just as racist towards whites that all the other films were against blacks. One strange thing is that Sidney Poitier's name never comes up yet the film does slam movies like THE DEFIANT ONES and GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER.

The documentary also shines a light on "black cinema" that was going on in the 20s and 30s but it points out that these films too were often full of racist stereotypes. Well, with the recent excellent film THE HELP, we learn that that type of image was going on during these times and I'm guessing Van Peebles' South Chicago neighborhood just didn't have some of these Southern images.

There are a few issues I did have with the movie including how Melvin Van Peebles said that he never saw anyone playing the maid in his neighborhood so the movies were making this image up.

The reports show how the CIA conducted in-depth investigations to factualise unexplained phenomenon that hint at the existence of aliens.

They were declassified for the first time in 1978 and are now available for free online. I'm going to start off by saying that I really wish someone would come along and make a three, four or even five hour documentary about this subject because there's so much to cover and there's just so little time here that you can't help but feel that so much is missing. These X-files were classified way back in 1950 but were soon secreted away by the CIA. Classified X (1998) *** (out of 4) Melvin Van Peebles hosts and narrates this 50-minute documentary that takes a look at the history of blacks in cinema.
