Unbelievable

This short film flips Groundhog Day on its head, and it hits DIFFERENT.
"Groundhog Day for a Black Man" (2016) stars Jay Pharoah in a gut punch comedy that traps him in the same day... over and over... every time ending in a police stop.
It's satire. It's uncomfortable. It's brilliant.
Using the time loop trope to expose the exhausting reality of racial profiling, this short blends dark comedy with a message that stays with you long after it ends.

They tell immigrants to come here "legally" - but Trump is literally gutting every legal pathway that many people of color have relied on to build lives in America.
For example: Many people have status through TPS, but the Trump regime is now gutting the program, and they also cut refugee admissions for everyone except white South Africans.
"Doing it legally" keeps getting harder to do, because that's the whole point for Trump. It has never been about following immigration rules - it's about racism.

Last Wednesday, 9/23, ICE injured a man they were trying to abduct, resulting in needing ambulance transport for him to Jersey City Medical Center (@jcmedcenter ) At the ER, agents posed as police to try and gain access inside. Throughout the entire ordeal, Jersey City
PD assisted ICE and escorted them demonstrating clear collaboration.
ICE is not welcome in our neighborhoods or our hospitals.
Every day, they endanger our communities with their reckless and violent behavior.
Do not stay silent. Your neighbors are being chased, hunted and dehumanized.

From Gaurdian : Rabbiatu Kuyateh is a 58-year-old nurse who spent most of her life in the US with her parents after fleeing Sierra Leone. She cared for Covid patients during the pandemic and looked after disabled adults and children.
On 1 July 2025, her son, Mohamed, accompanied her to a routine ICE check-in, as her immigration status required.
That was the last time he saw her before she was deported to Ghana.
Rabbiatu is one of more than 25,000 people deported by the Trump administration to countries that are not their own. More than 5,000 of them have been put on flights to countries in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean and central Asia to which they have no connection, and then, otten, returned to the countries where US immigration judges had ruled their lives or liberty were at risk.
To uncover some of their stories, the Guardian joined 23 other media organisations in the Deportation Project, an investigation coordinated by the Paris-based international network of journalists Forbidden Stories. Rabbiatu's interview was conducted with audio only and we are using an actor to represent her and her son.
The Ghanaian government did not respond to questions from the Guardian.
Rabbiatu had a work visa and under its terms she had an annual check-in with ICE. In September 2025 she was granted legal protection from a judge that prevented her from being deported to her country of birth. She also said she had no criminal history. In a response received after the investigation was published, the Department of Homeland Security said she had committed an offence in the past by entering the US without the correct visa requirements: "On 1 July 2025, ICE arrested Rabbiatu Kuyateh, a criminal illegal alien from Sierra Leone who illegally re-entered - a felony."
"Illegal aliens going to third countries are those whose home countries won't accept them, including dangerous criminals, or illegal aliens with orders of removal who have asked to not be removed to their home country!"
