Released on Netflix, airing on instant streaming, November 11th in the US.
The story: Movie critic, writer, and black America Elvis Mitchell takes us on a two-hour journey through black cinema.
Not only do we hear from black actors and actresses and how movies with and without black Americans in them affected them and their lives, but Elvis narrates the journey for us.
We are schooled about talented black American actors, actresses, directors, genres, and movie theaters in history.
Elvis questions where black cinema of the 70s went, where it came from, and what it all means.
