Final Project Proposal

I want to focus on Donald Glover, specifically his hit television show Atlanta. The show began in 2016 and is currently airing its fourth and final season on FX. The show uses "afro-surrealism" (a term first used by Amiri Baraka) to express its themes and messages. I would analyze this and its impact on modern filmmaking, contrasting it with previous decades from the Bogle readings.

Seems like a great topic for analysis. Let's talk about critical sources - how do you measure or rate afro-surrealism? And how can you measure impact?
