I am a certified Swirl Hunter and can find black women swirlers or swirl-related news in the outer most regions of the Earth.  Imagine my surprise when I came across this movie with an African woman interracial theme!  I was beyond thrilled reading about Feathered Dreams and the trailer did not disappoint.  I love movies as much as the next person, but I have found other things to do with my time quite honestly these days.  However, this movie I am putting on my “MUST SEE” list.  Maybe that is because the last movie I saw was 9 months ago when I was braving the frigid, nose hair freezing North Pole, Alaska 51 degrees below zero days.  After that experience, nobody should be asking why movies are low priority for or anyone in my family.  But I digress.

Feathered Dreams is the first Ukrainian feature length film distributed internationally.  Highlight Pictures presents this movie recorded in English, and it is a joint Ukrainian/Nigerian venture.  Feathered Dreams is about the beautiful Sade – a young Nigerian Medical school student who actually dreams of becoming a professional singer.

Talk about obstacles to overcome, Sade has her share of them.  Her father dies and she goes to medical school to satisfy her mother, but at what cost?  Compounded by her life experiences she finds a way to her dream.  Sade overcomes hurt and pain with her talent, persistence and the undying love of her kind hearted and good natured Ukrainian boyfriend Denis. There is suspense, intrigue and an awesome love story.

Interpreting Sade is the lovely, award winning Nigerian actress Omoni Oboli.  Denis’ character is being played by Andrey (Andrew) Rozhen.  Andrew is doubling his duties in Feathered Dreams as he is also the award winning director for the film.  They both have a wonderful on screen chemistry and they are destined to have a retinue of inspired black women all over the globe.

*Serendipity* — Guess who is singing the title song “My Everything”???? Why it’s Gaitana of course.  This ultra-talented Afro-Ukrainian (Congolese) songstress was the natural and logical choice.  Gaitana is looking hot on the video I might add.

Gaitana: “My Everything

Oooh! This looks very interesting! I'm always looking for swirly movies where the black woman is the love interest. We need more. I am writing books! Be looking for them on the shelves over the next few years!

I will be on the lookout for Feathered Dreams...see if it will be playing in my area or somewhere I can get to.

 

There is another swirling movie coming out on December 7th. John Slattery and Gabrielle Union star in "In Our Nature," a drama about a father and son who suffer from past choices and mistakes. Gabrielle is in the trailer, but her character is not a main part of the film. She is the father's new girlfriend. I want to see this also.

 SisterRainbow I saw "In our Nature" at a film festival and she is actually a huge part of the film. I would definitely go see it. It really is a great movie!

 camjenks I only took what I saw in the trailer, which wasn't much. I want to see this movie. I am more familiar with Gabrielle, but have seen Slattery a couple of times in random movies that I do not remember. I am glad to know that Gabrielle's part is prominent. Thanks.

This looks like a GREAT movie!  I hope I can see here locally or on DVD in the near future.

Oh my gosh....I'm definitely seeing this! Finally finished the trailer.... damn my super slow internet. It looks oh so beautiul. I simply cannot wait! 

LovingMyself 295 pts

Oh, wow. I'm so shocked! The film looks really good. If it's shown in Paris, I will gladly part with my non-existent euros! Go Naija - yay Omoni!

Browncow 1366 pts

Okay. I'm going to watch this movie! Not only is she a Naija girl, the man in this movie is very handsome. Just my type. Not too pretty, not too rugged. The story looks great too. Wow! I'm so happy that movies like this are being made. It really helps BW the world over be seen as multifaceted people rather than one-dimensional characters of the unholy trinity of stereotypes (whore, mammy, and sapphire). I will put my money to this project because it uplifts BW and makes our stories normal.

Oooooooh. I WANT TO SEE THIS. At first I was a little put off by the acting, and then it got better, and then I realized that English is most likely not the cast's first language. Kudos to them for doing a bang-up job anyway! It looks really intriguing, though. I am stoked :D

 Yay for you!  It is definitely a foreign film and promises to be good maybe even winning some American and international film awards.  We can be deceived by trailers and teasers, but something tells me this one will be good!

Seriously nowadays.. Skin heads and whatnot feels so limited to eastern europe at least it feels so from Scandinavia.. Live here 10 year and not seen one.. But again I did see a report that the white power movements are no longer major treats..

Looks interesting. I was wondering if there was going to be neo-nazi's seeing as Eastern Europe is chock full of them. I also find that last sentence I wrote completely ironic. 

Browncow 1366 pts

 AshleyFisher Can someone explain to me why there are so many neo-nazis in Eastern Europe? I've heard this, but I didn't know that it was so all over the place there. Are they trying to stop globalization and competition with other groups that are migrating to their countries?

AshleyFisher 390 pts

 Browncow There are a lot of factors that play into this. Lets just start with that they hardly trust each other let alone people who look nothing like them. Eastern Europe has always had a lot of ethical violence. This results in a very very strong sense of nationalism. Introducing new elements in a places like that also induces a strong xenophobia because "the foreigners are nothing like them. They know nothing about the struggle of the people. They just come in and take jobs and cause trouble"  You know the whole " you're new and cause trouble" "We're poor because you're here" mentality. Like the who situation the country is in never existed before foreigners arrived. It's a weird thing. 

@AshleyFisher @Browncow The weirdest part is easily the fact that the Nazis caused so much suffering in Russia and Ukraine. I mean the Nazi-army killed more than 22-23 million Russians (army and civillians) which is more than three times the victims of the Holocaust!! Theese victims are largely forgotten by the rest of the world unfortunatly :( And now their grandchildren are honoring Hitler and heiling and whatnot :( their ancesters are probably spinning in their graves.....

 AshleyFisher  Browncow I know. The Nazi's considered them barely worth more than a Jew. The goal was to get those lands for German agriculture. So every time I think about it I almost die of laughter.

 We don't have to look too far to find neo nazis.  It is the same with any other gang, a sense of family and beloging where they may come from broken homes or have poor father figures if they have one in the home.  The Orange County Register has a six part series on skin heads, white supremacy in that area is growing.  Ironic that they will attack a bm with a ww and may harrass a wm with bw, aw, lw.  Ironic that MANY of these new skinheads have Black and Latina girlfriends.  It is in the report.
