⁣1994 drama film directed by David C. Johnson and executive produced by Spike Lee via his production company 40 Acres and a Mule Filmworks. The plot depicts a team of Black people who kidnap fellow black people who they feel have betrayed their community and seek to "deprogram" them so that they will change their ways. The acronym DROP stands for "Deprogramming and Restoration of Pride". The film has been described as "[p]art thriller, part social satire".
The film was based in part on The Session, a 45-minute film Johnson produced in 1988 on a $20,000 budget, and ultimately derived from a short story by David C. Taylor titled "The Deprogrammer". Johnson described the differences between the two films as follows: "The short film was basically satire, an absurdist piece .... D.R.O.P. Squad, on the other hand, is realism. The characters have more at stake."

Drama · Political satire about an underground militant group that kidnaps Kmtyu who have sold out their race.

Imagine you’re building a new nation: your people have just thrown off colonial chains. But behind the scenes, a foreign agency is picking your leaders, funding rival factions, flooding your society with misinformation, investing in businessmen who owe their loyalty to another capital half a globe away. This is not fiction. This is White Malice: The CIA and the Covert Recolonization of Africa by Susan Williams.When we talk about Africa’s decolonization, we usually imagine flags being raised, anthems echoing across the sky, and leaders proclaiming independence. But behind these images of triumph, another story was unfolding — silent, methodical, and invisible. A story of spies and sabotage.Of manipulation and betrayal. A story where the dream of freedom was quietly undermined by a foreign power: the United States of America.In her groundbreaking book White Malice, British historian Susan Williams exposes the secret operations of the CIA in Africa — operations that aimed not just to influence, but to control the newly independent nations of the continent.
