-Leonera, an Argentine drama about mothers in prison, includes a relationship between the lead, a light-skinned woman from a middle-class background, and a darker-skinned poor woman.
-Antônia, a Brazilian movie about four young black women who dream of making it big as a hip hop group. This trailer doesn't have subtitles but gives a good idea of what the movie is like.
-Caramel, a Lebanese movie about a group of women who work or hangout at the same beauty salon. One of the supporting characters is probably a lesbian.
All three of these movies were made in their respective countries and the casts are predominantly women of color. The last two are directed by women. All three are available for instant viewing on Netflix, so they should be easy canons for a lot of people to acquire.
Someone has already nominated Treme, David Simon's HBO drama about post-Katrina New Orleans, which I'm planning to request. Simon is white and the cast is mostly pretty evenly split (not just by numbers but by protagonism) between white and African American characters. So far there's just been one season, 13 episodes.
Most of the other fandoms I've had in mind have been nominated already, so I should have two or three extra spaces. Let me know if there's something you want to nom but don't have room for. :)
