**Video Summary of the 1994 Film *Space Traders***
*Space Traders* is a thought-provoking short film adapted from Derrick
Bell’s science fiction short story of the same name. Released in 1994 as
part of the *Cosmic Slop* anthology, the film presents a dystopian
allegory about race, power, and sacrifice in America.
**Plot Summary**
The story is set in a near-future United States grappling with economic
collapse, pollution, and political turmoil. One day, an alien spacecraft
arrives, offering a deal: in exchange for all Black citizens of
America, the aliens will provide unlimited wealth, advanced technology,
and solutions to the nation’s crises.
The U.S. government, controlled by white elites, deliberates on the
offer, while Black communities face a horrifying reality—being treated
as expendable bargaining chips. The film follows Gleason Golightly, a
Black conservative government official, as he struggles with his loyalty
to the system and his moral obligation to his people.
Ultimately, the decision falls into the hands of a public referendum,
and despite protests and resistance, the majority votes to accept the
trade. The film ends with Black citizens being taken away, leaving a
chilling commentary on racial injustice and the willingness of society
to sacrifice marginalized groups for its own benefit.

Discussions regarding food choices is a topic of much debate within the Church. Many will say that YAHUAH is not concerned about what we eat today.
Let's follow the Berean example of seeking Truth to determine the original intention or "will" of our Messiah. Act 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word (they listened) with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures (researched for themselves) daily, whether those things were so (validated the message according to the Scriptures).
