About this Event

This striking protest film, adapted from Sam Greenlee's novel, is an important yet controversial indictment of oppression and discrimination. A major African American production of the 1970s, it transcends what many call "blaxploitation."

This is not exploitation but a serious look at racism and the need for people to be accepted and to stand on their own two feet. A fictionalized film, yet still a relevant and wrathful diatribe against the iniquities of the time – a brilliant piece of filmmaking.
