Black Images on Film and TV in the Brazil and the USA

A sharp documentary tracing 40 years -from the late 1940s to the late 1980s—of race relations on American prime-time television. The film analyzes how networks and advertisers manufactured servile and sanitized Black caricatures to soothe racial anxieties while ignoring the turbulent reality of the Civil Rights struggle.

From Amos 'n' Andy to Nat King Cole, from Roots to The Cosby Show, black people have played many roles on primetime television. Brilliantly weaving clips from classic TV shows with commentary from TV producers, black actors and scholars, Marlon Riggs blends humor, insight, and thoughtful analysis to explore the evolution of black/white relations as reflected by America's favorite addiction.
