HBO's new documentary The Black List includes interviews with African-Americans from the arts, sports, politics, business and government. From the HBO website:
"Part of a multimedia initiative, The Black List: Volume One is the brainchild of renowned portrait photographer/filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders (PBS' Lou Reed: Rock and Roll Heart, HBO's Thinking XXX) and acclaimed NPR radio host, journalist and former New York Times film critic Elvis Mitchell, with Greenfield-Sanders directing and Mitchell conducting the interviews.
