In this week's episode of the Black Girl Nerds podcast, we interview director and executive producer Justin Simien of the new docuseries Hollywood Black.

Inspired by the book from historian Donald Bogle, Hollywood Black, directed and executive produced by Justin Simien, chronicles the history of cinema, but from a radically Black perspective. By unearthing personal stories from actors, writers, directors, and producers who fought for their place on the page, behind the camera and on the screen, the series provides a critical reexamination of a quintessentially American story—in brilliant color.
