Plot

In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, black telemarketer Cassius Green finds out a magical key to professional success, which propels him into a macabre universe of "powercalling" that leads to material glory. But the upswing in Cassius' career raises serious red flags with his girlfriend Detroit, a performance artist and minimum-wage striver who's secretly part of a Banksy-style activist collective. As his friends and co-workers organize in protest of corporate oppression, Cassius falls under the spell of his company's cocaine-snorting CEO Steve Lift, who offers him a salary beyond his wildest dreams.

The movie is written and directed by Boots Riley. The cast is formed by Lakeith Stanfield ('Selma'), Tessa Thompson ('Thor: Ragnarok'), Terry Crews ('Brooklyn Nine- Nine'), Armie Hammer ('Call Me By Your Name') and Steven Yeun ('Okja'), among others.

Trivia

'The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll'

Detroit wears a pair of earrings with the phrases "Bury the drag" and "Deep in your face". These are lyrics from Bob Dylan's song "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll", that tells the story of a poor African-American woman murdered by a rich white man. The next verse is: "Now's the time for your tears".

A Special Location

Most of the rioting scenes took place in downtown Oakland, California.

Very Fast

Around 60 scenes were shot in 21 days.
