The first trailer has already been released.

National Geographic has released the trailer of the new part of the anthology "Genius", which tells about the lives of the greatest minds of our planet. In the center of the plot of the upcoming chapter of the project will be civil rights activists Martin Luther King and Malcolm X.

The show will tell about their formation and how their views were formed. King grew up in the Jim Crow-era South and attended church regularly, while X was troubled from childhood and ended up in prison as early as 20, where he learned about the Nation of Islam. The two dissimilar men ended up becoming major voices in the fight for African American rights.

Kelvin Harrison Jr. and Aaron Pierre played the lead roles. The first two episodes of the eight-episode show will premiere on February 1.

I still hoped that they would return to the idea of Mary Shelley...

@max_roose: Martin Luther King was the leader of the fight against racism in a nonviolent way in the United States. In fact, he ended the state's discriminatory treatment of Africans in the United States. He gave his life for this cause, while you and millions of superintelligences have a position "my hut on the edge"

Well, yes, in recent years, so little has been filmed about the problems of black Americans
Is there really such a request on the topic of racism in the United States

@kiprian_zhurov: Of course, xenophobia and racism are a very big problem not only in the USA and around the world

@degeneratebala: I may be a racist, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but I'm much more interested in watching about Native Americans, about whom they shoot a negligible amount of product
And as a disabled person, I am outraged that the LGBT and racial theme is represented, the theme of people with disabilities is not, of course, changes have begun, but judging by the series, every second neighbor is gay, and the disabled person is alone in the city

@kiprian_zhurov: if there are few films about the disabled, it does not mean that you can devalue the problems of others. If you raise the issue of people with disabilities and protest, Hollywood will shoot about them. Demand generates supply. There is progress in Hollywood. For example, the TV series Echo and Daredevil. In 2022, CODA, a child of Deaf Parents, won the Oscar for Best Film. If everyone treats each other respectfully, then everyone will have a place in our society (I am not Russian, so I may have mistakes in the text)

@degeneratebala: it's a great movie, I watched it with pleasure at the time, I also took the Oscar
But in the series, only Walter White's son comes to mind from the old, relatively
Of the new ones, a heroine also appeared in Doctor Who, even a ramp was made in the TARDIS)
I agree that you need to treat everyone with respect, I won't say anything against it

it seems that the series does not position itself as a documentary, but it is one of the best biographical ones.. It will be interesting to watch the new season as well 🙂
