Boots Riley is On Strike As He Releases New Show, “I’m A Virgo”
Today, we’re in conversation with award-winning filmmaker, rapper and all around Oakland legend, Boots Riley, about his new TV show called “I’m a Virgo,” a show being released on Amazon Prime whose plot builds around a 13-foot tall Black man living in Oakland – and it gets weirder, more engaging, and fun, from there. Boots has been a supporter of labor movements and strikes for decades – but now for the first time he’s a part of a union on strike – we dive deep into the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, which is paralyzing Hollywood.
