This film is literally alive. More people should steal from Greaves, and I wish more people documented black history in this richly intense way. So glad this document exists.
Geregisseerd door William Greaves
Een realistische, door critici geprezen documentaire.

Beautiful documentation but I wonder if it's possible to not just voyeuristically enjoy these black arts put up for show?
