A Place at the Table
Like clans that ban politics at holiday dinner, cable’s Christmas movie makers are going for the greater good. Forget the usual one-upsmanship they’re focused on inclusion.
Jacqueline Cutler
The cable buzz this time of year has traditionally focused on the Christmas- movie contest between Lifetime and Hallmark.
Who is the season s official host? Sure, the rivalry exists, but the story has shifted. Now the question is: who s invited to the party?
Both networks have worked hard to expand the holiday table, and this year, the results are dramatic. Members of the Black, Latinx, Asian, gay and disability communities star in and helm much of the latest batch of feel-good films, which started airing October 23. Ultimately, this is more of a Christmas gift than a holiday tiff.
Bean recruited artists to record with her at Apollo Theater in Harlem, N.Y. without an audience in the seats.
She sold out shows at the Apollo the last two years and didn t want to miss a chance this year to share the music. She said the pandemic has highlighted why the arts are important. I hope that people those of us who make art for a living and those who are patrons of the arts are that much more grateful, Bean said. It was our books and our movies and our live concerts . it was artistic content that got you through this pandemic.
