Primary
Coffy is rated -1 (Left-Leaning) because its central conflict critiques the devastating impact of drug trade and systemic corruption on Black communities, highlighting social injustice and the failure of institutions to protect marginalized groups, despite its individualistic vigilante solution.
The movie features a Black female lead and a predominantly Black cast, which was a significant departure from traditional casting norms of its era. Its narrative explicitly critiques established power structures, often portraying white and male characters in villainous or corrupt roles, and centers on a Black woman's fight against exploitation within her community.
Secondary
