Wish we were friends
I expected a bland biographical drama and instead I got what feels like a Jess Franco movie. Talk about a pleasant surprise.
This documentary short dramatizes the life, abolitionist work, and historical impact of Frederick Douglass using dramatic re-creations and archival framing.
It was directed by William Greaves in 1985 as a historical docudrama for educational distribution.
