Go West Young Man is a unique animation that dives deep into the complexities of black masculinity through a father-son discussion. It’s not your typical animated fare, rather it juxtaposes personal dialogue with a collage of historical moments that really makes you think. The pacing is deliberate, allowing for reflection on each point raised, while the visuals, all crafted on an Amiga, give it a raw, distinct aesthetic that’s quite different from mainstream animation. The practicality of the effects brings a certain charm, and while the director is unknown, the film’s intimate atmosphere makes it feel personal. It’s definitely a piece that sparks conversation and pushes boundaries in its examination of myths around race and gender.
