Abstract
ABSTRACT This essay examines the film Morris from America (2016) from an Afrofuturist vantage point. On the surface, the film is about being black in Heidelberg, Germany. Yet, upon closer examination, the film presents the “black experience” from a black American perspective and discounts the Afro-German experience and the city’s legacy of antiracist activism. Thus, this narrow vision fails to offer a nuanced portrayal of racism in Germany, and shows the limitation of the American imagination to move beyond U.S. born stereotypes of African descended people.
