Opinion | Aramide A. Tinubu: Netflix's 'Da 5 Bloods' tells Black Vietnam veterans' stories the way only Spike Lee can. - NBCNewsTHINK
Then, in 1995, two very different films about the Black veteran experience premiered. The HBO movie"The Tuskegee Airmen" focused on the racism and injustices that the all-Black 332nd Fighter Group faced in the Deep South during World War II. These prejudices continued even as they were called upon to protect their white counterparts who were dropping bombs on Germany.
Fresh off their chilling"Menace II Society", the Hughes Brothers that same year delivered their take on the Black veteran experience with"Dead Presidents," in which Anthony Curtis , returning home from the Vietnam War to the Bronx, finds only dead ends. The realization leads him down a road of destruction in an ill-fated attempt to take what he felt he'd earned.
The idea that Black American veterans' battles have extended well beyond their tours of duty was also beautifully captured by Dee Rees in 2017's"Mudbound," a story of two families — one Black and one white — stuck together on a rural Mississippi farm. Their lives are altered forever when the end of World War II brings their loved ones home.
