Jordan Peele’s upcoming docuseries, “High Horse: The Black Cowboy,” has finally released its powerful trailer, three years after his last film, “Nope.” The trailer delves into the history and erasure of Black cowboys in American culture, highlighting the intentional removal of their stories to create the myth of the American white cowboy.
The three-part series, set to premiere on Peacock on November 20, features interviews with prominent figures such as Pam Grier, Tina Knowles, Lori Harvey, and Bun B. Peele, the producer behind the project, expressed his gratitude for Monkeypaw Productions in amplifying the voices and culture of Black cowboys and cowgirls. He emphasized the inseparable connection between their history and the story of America, aiming to honor and celebrate their lasting legacy.
Directed by Jason Perez and executive produced by a team including Peele, Win Rosenfeld, and Keisha Senter, “High Horse: The Black Cowboy” promises to shed light on a lesser-known aspect of American history. Peele’s previous film, “Nope,” a sci-fi horror thriller starring Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer, explored a different narrative involving a Black-owned horse ranch in California.
In a recent interview, Peele revealed that he wrote “Nope” as a way to draw audiences back to theaters and create a spectacle that would captivate viewers. The film deals with the theme of spectacle and the consequences of seeking attention, resonating with audiences through its horror elements and thought-provoking scenes. Peele even named the film after the reaction he hopes to elicit from the audience – a resounding “nope!”
As Peele continues to make waves in the film industry with his unique storytelling and impactful projects, “High Horse: The Black Cowboy” promises to be a compelling exploration of a vital but often overlooked part of American history. Stay tuned for its premiere on Peacock and prepare to be immersed in the world of Black cowboys like never before. New Study Shows the Impact of Climate Change on Global Food Security
A new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change has shed light on the impact of climate change on global food security. The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, found that climate change is already affecting food production in many regions around the world, and that these effects are likely to worsen in the coming decades.
The researchers analyzed data from over 1,700 studies on the impact of climate change on food production and found that extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, and heatwaves are becoming more frequent and more severe. These events have a significant impact on crop yields, livestock production, and fisheries, leading to food shortages and price spikes.
The study also found that climate change is affecting food security in different ways in different regions. For example, in sub-Saharan Africa, where agriculture is heavily dependent on rain-fed crops, droughts and erratic rainfall patterns are leading to crop failures and food shortages. In South Asia, rising temperatures are reducing wheat and rice yields, while in Southeast Asia, sea level rise is threatening coastal agriculture and fisheries.
The researchers warn that if current trends continue, the world may face a food crisis in the coming decades. They stress the importance of taking action to mitigate the effects of climate change on food production, including investing in climate-resilient agriculture practices, improving water management, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The study’s findings have important implications for policymakers, farmers, and consumers around the world. It highlights the urgent need for coordinated global action to address the challenges posed by climate change and ensure food security for all. Only by working together can we hope to build a more sustainable and resilient food system that can withstand the impacts of a changing climate.
