This Saturday, BlackTree Media presents The George McKenna Story, the inspiring 1986 biographical drama starring a young Denzel Washington as real-life Los Angeles educator Dr. George McKenna, whose commitment to discipline, excellence, and heart transformed one of the city’s toughest schools.

Before Glory, before Malcolm X, before becoming an Oscar legend — Denzel Washington delivered one of his earliest commanding performances as a determined principal willing to confront gangs, apathy, and broken systems to lift his students up. His portrayal helped define the “inspirational educator” subgenre long before films like Lean on Me and Stand and Deliver became staples.

⭐ Plot Summary

Based on a true story, the film follows McKenna as he takes over notorious George Washington Preparatory High School, battling violence, low expectations, and a culture of defeat. Through tough love, community engagement, and high standards, he helps the students discover their potential and restores pride in a forgotten neighborhood.

⭐ Starring
• Denzel Washington — in one of the key early roles that showcased his natural leadership and intensity
• Lynn Whitfield (Eve’s Bayou, Madea’s Family Reunion)
• Debbi Morgan (All My Children, Eve’s Bayou)
• John Quade
• Art Evans

🎬 Directed by:

Eric Laneuville (actor-turned-director known for ER, Lost, and Grimm)

BlackTree Media is excited to bring you Heist (2001) — David Mamet’s razor-sharp crime drama starring the incomparable Delroy Lindo alongside Gene Hackman, Danny DeVito, and Sam Rockwell.

Written and directed by the legendary playwright David Mamet, Heist is a masterclass in tension, double-crosses, and dialogue so precise it cuts like a blade.

Joe Moore (Gene Hackman) is a seasoned thief ready to retire after his face is captured on security cameras. But his manipulative fence (Danny DeVito) coerces him into one last job: a high-stakes Swiss gold transport heist.

Delroy Lindo shines as Bobby Blane, Moore’s trusted partner — a calm, calculating professional whose loyalty becomes the emotional center of the crew. As plans unravel and betrayals multiply, the film becomes a gripping battle of wills between criminal masterminds.

What follows is a twisting game of survival, strategy, and deception — a true Mamet thriller that keeps you guessing until the final seconds.
