Superman Doesn’t Steal

This is a personal story about a series of incidents that happened to my brother and I when we were comic book loving kids growing up in the south during a particularly dangerous time when there was a murderer on the loose snatching and killing Black Children. It's extremely timely now as 157 cases were reported by the NY Times to have been re-opened in Atlanta targeting the time of the Atlanta Child Murders.

"“Superman Doesn’t Steal allows us into that rarefied space of a Black child’s Imagination where flight and fearlessness play. It reminds us capes are worn by mothers and fathers and that love, complicated, but abiding love is the letter-chested hero.”- Academy Award nominated-Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor “Superman Doesn’t Steal is a breathtaking exploration of family, delivering an unexpected journey that blazes with both joy and pain. Lamison’s direction is a masterclass in storytelling-- visceral, nuanced, and bursting with a visual brilliance that marks a true cinematic talent." - Janine Sherman Barrois "Loved it!! It’s a powerful memory... and the shot where he drops the milk bottle and is pulled away is terrifying!!...excellent job."- Lyndon Barrois "This film left a tattoo on my soul. 'Superman doesn't steal' is the gem hiding in plain sight amongst the Oscar qualified films this year. Powerful. Emotional. Authentic." Ward W. Bond of Bond on Cinema
