[@DeidreLewis-q1e]

Thank you BlacktreeTV for giving us back these classics

[@athenadent930]

What an ABSOLUTE WONDERFUL movie!!! Tears and joy, strength and pain, gain and loss wrapped in unconditional LOVE. 😊❤🙌

[@dominiquehowardd9219]

This is a great movie highlighting a little on Sickle Cell Disease. All sickle cell adult patients should keep a copy of this movie. It would be nice if someone can do a todays version!

[@blacktreemedia]

I was thinking that there was not anything about this movie that was dated. It could be a movie today. Don’t know if audiences would tune jn

[@melodyelson3202]

good point same actore marvelous ✨️

[@bobbyw5018]

Priceless Timeless Classic❣️

[@classicmane3775]

Well there is a modern version. The TLC documentary movie shows when T-Boz had her sickle episodes.

[@chayennegrep7791]

😢😢😢😢

[@araisininthesun5958]

I was born with the trait. Thank God I’ve never had any complications. My heart aches for those with the full blown disease.💔🙏🏿

[@paulamitchell1653]

Me too... THANK GOD... No complications

[@Geffect-Foundr]

Anyone, regardless of race or ethnicity, can inherit hemoglobin mutations causing SCA. However, SCA is more common among those whose ancestors come from: sub-Saharan Africa Central and South America South Asia the Middle East

[@blackdove3057]

I've been waiting for someone to upload this for years. I loaned my copy out and never got it back. Couldn't even rent or purchase it online anywhere. Lovely movie. I always cry at the end.

[@delivereddivanewlife8084]

What an Awesome, Black Love😀True to Life Film. Thank you for giving us a taste of true Afrocentric Essence!!!❤❤️🖤💛🤎💚

[@Jazz-fg2dm]

"A taste of true Afrocentric Essence"? ummh...this kiss (1:35:20) felt sooo good. God bless Africa, our Motherland!

[@pbenson56fran]

This man was staring in roles way above many almost at the beginning of his career....I saw an interview of how he got started its was something else....

[@marlannakennedy4508]

Sydney Poitier

[@jaddae7099]

My vote for favorites of my love of actors... and beauty, Esther is a renown photographer as well... She took most of the iconic photos of Bob Marley, and Wailers we have

[@blacktreemedia]

She is gorgeous for sure and I know she went on to direct a Marley documentary I believe also

[@ralphsanchico2452]

@@blacktreemedia her and Vonetta McGee. could almost pass for twins.

[@mcpheejesus5945]

Outstanding and very heart-touching love story. Superb acting from beginning to end, even the little girl who played the part of Mr. Poitier's daughter, Yvette Curtis. The strikingly gorgeous Esther Anderson was brilliant, along with Mr. Poitier & his brilliance as leading actor & director of the film. Thanks for sharing this gem, despite the odd & unexpected glitches.

[@sabevabg]

Thank you , Black Tree TV.

[@traceybrown5897]

Oh my goodness I fell in love with this when I was about 20 years old and I saw this for the first time and this is the most heartwarming romantic tearjerker oh my goodness.. this was the black love story to me and I totally love it❤

[@user-zx5kq6hs9d]

Sidney Poitier is just so sexy, I loved him in "To sir with love" "Guess who’s coming to dinner" with Kathrine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Sidney Poitier, Kathrine Houghton. Thank you so much for this upload, real tear jerker. Very much appreciated. ❤🙏🦋🍀Cheers from Australia.

[@nabimikev4700]

I must say I enjoyed it tremendously also sheds light on sickle cell two celebrities I have heard of having it Late great Paul Williams of the Temptations and Tionne TBoz Watkins of TLC fame, they were so strong and resilient some may not have known they had it. I love movies depicting people who go through and triumph in spite of the odds. The human spirit is strong through faith. That's what gets us all through own struggles. Thank you kindly Black Tree TV, I will tell my friends and family about your channel. Truly can relate to these Films about African Heritage 👍🏽

[@kimmy1984]

Thank you!

[@blacktreemedia]

Welcome!

[@auntiedeedee3438]

Thank you BlacktreeTv I have been looking for the movie A Warm December.

[@celinetremblay778]

Lovely* wonderful actors*

[@thomasinajackson5774]

Good picture loved the little girl.

[@seancampbell9499]

Really good storyline from Sidney that was sad at the end

[@typistseva8737]

It was delightful to come across A Warm December finally after searching over the years online awhile-thank you for making it available! I was a tad disappointed at this edited version that cut Miriam Makeba and chorus singer’s lovely song preempted by the Anna Lucasta preview. A humble suggestion for your consideration - please allow full film’s to be shown giving one’s a chance to appreciate the production’s full spectrum of quality editing, directing, story narrative and other aspects of these rarely seen classics, if possible. Grateful thanks again for making A Warm December available🙏🏾🎥☮️

[@blacktreemedia]

Trust us we love the performance but the copyright on that material prohibits it from being played on KZbin and is the reason you haven’t seen the film on the platform All these years. We are making an announcement soon where you Will be able to watch this content on our platform in full

[@paulamitchell1653]

Explain you making the wrong choice Catherine to Stephanie, how about to me?🥴... My daughter wanted a black love story, NOT about slavery. But a Warm December, made me cry but I always cry at movies. With her condition, Catherine she needed to reconsider. No this December was frosty. And it had so many positive possibilities--- a male and a female in love, black culture, no foul language, black ppl talking to each other, China dinner ware, black doctors, nice living quarters, travel all over the world, so many positive vibes! 🖤🙂‍↔️😩

[@TheresaGreen-d9d]

This was lovely ❤

[@SunJune45]

I’ve always wanted to see this movie but it was never available anywhere thank you❤

[@blacktreemedia]

You're welcome!

[@stephanieallen3373]

So sorry I’m just coming upon this beautiful love story today.

[@blacktreemedia]

The art lives on past the artist. Never too late to appreciate it

[@chesleyrenater6158]

I truly believe this movie was put out there for the awareness of sickle cell which is very harmful and carried by black or afro Americans ? Thanks for the video RIP Mr. Poitier

[@robinnewton1061]

I love this movie 😊😊😊😊😊

[@theresmore2learn516]

Omgosh that’s Wexford!!!

[@FlourButtaSuga]

Johhny Sekka aka Ibe from Good times! I knew I recognized him!!!

[@mzbea4996]

Lovely movie

[@keithbrooks0223]

There were very few romantic movies made in the 60s and 70s featuring black actors, A Warm December was a refreshing, if not slightly sad romance film featuring the great Sidney Poitier and the gorgeous and under-used Esther Anderson gem.

[@ekayaniperforms]

Wow!

[@htlewis07]

Good movie

[@mackilocious]

The best part of the movie was cut!!! The African singers !!!!

[@araisininthesun5958]

Has anyone else experienced the movie freezing/ stopping in some spots?

[@Kim63146]

Yes.

[@ttvjaybr072]

Yes me too

[@JenniferTyler-n9w]

[@tramp2827]

As a youngster, I fell in love with this wonderful movie not realizing this beautiful black woman was one of my own country girls.

[@gumarobertson-xk9ob]

This movie story relates to Uganda. Lake Victoria, tallest mountains and the first Muganda, Kintu. Sydney Poitier has Acholi genes. He just did not trace his origin.
