SYMBIOPSYCHOTAXIPLASM director william greaves's historic and important document of so! many! civil rights figureheads was edited down for television back in 1972 because it was deemed too militant, but it's been recently restored with funding from the HFPA and jane fonda and is currently available for free through the AFI docs film festival!!!in case you need further convincing it also includes:- harry belafonte in an extremely fabulous fur coat- harry belafonte reading poetry - sidney poitier narrating- coretta scott king getting an extended standing ovation- my favorite part—dick gregory's rousing and funny speech that is somehow both perfectly succinct and not long enoughseriously it's absurd that this film has been lost for so long and that it's so under-seen—it's such a perfect mixture of cinema verité, direct voiceover commentary, and use of poetry in voiceover
