Shackled by the confines of our past, as well as the impediment that is our present – we often feel stupid for believing that our lives have been or can be anything other than subjugate and oppressed. With the emergence of Afrofuturism, blackness can be defined and represented within speculative fiction and as well as science fiction,
out side of the lens of whiteness . Afro futurism is an art form, practice and methodology that al lows black people to see themselves in the future despite a distressing past and present . Greg Tate of ten speaks about how ‘black people live the alienation that science fiction writers imagine’ ; Afro futurism allows for such
imagination, as well as black innovation, artistry, and identity. A large part of that identity is MASCULINITY.

African masculinity has always been heavily debated. Black men seem to ex i s t in a fluid s ate of existence, on the periphery of Oppression, Stuck Betwixt and between being Oppressed and Oppressor .

This film uses the concept of imagination to draw dreamlike images of the multiple facets of black masculinity that are prevalent in our society, but also putting an afro futuristic flavour to them. The form, Afro Futurism, aids in placing masculinity (or manhood) firmly within the future of blackness – but removing the toxicity and
violence that has permeated masculinity within the years .
