– video made by the YouTube channel with the logo in the video’s upper left hand corner. OaklandNewsNow.com is the original blog post for this type of video-blog content.For our second Saturday Morning Feature, BlackTreeTV presents Island in the Sun (1957), a provocative and star-studded drama set on a fictitious Caribbean island during colonial British rule. This groundbreaking film features the legendary Harry Belafonte as David Boyeur, a charismatic Black man with political aspirations, and Dorothy Dandridge as Margot Seaton, in a story that explores race, politics, and forbidden love. The film follows Boyeur as he returns home to the island, where his romantic relationship with a white woman clashes with his political ambitions. Meanwhile, the story delves into the lives of a white expatriate family grappling with infidelity, racism, and murder, providing a nuanced look at the complex dynamics of colonial society. Island in the Sun created waves upon its release, particularly due to its portrayal of interracial relationships. A rumored screen kiss between Harry Belafonte and Joan Fontaine caused significant controversy in the U.S., making this film a landmark in cinema history. Directed by Robert Rossen and featuring an incredible ensemble cast, including Joan Fontaine and James Mason, the movie remains a compelling exploration of social and political themes.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the YouTube video channel for BlackTree TV uploads a video it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
