Kobi Libii’s genre-bending Sundance hit, The American Society of Magical Negroes is a comedy about a mysterious society that has taken on a secret mission to ease the often volatile discomfort of white people. Blending social satire, fantasy, and romance, Libii’s film takes a funny and wholly original approach to the question of identity, destiny and what we owe to each other.
