Description

Oscar Micheaux: The Superhero Of Black Filmmaking on DVD

In the late 1910s, Pullman porter-turned-successful self-published novelist Oscar Micheaux was unimpressed by the film rights offers for his works-and embarked on a 30-year career writing, directing, producing, and self-distributing silent and talking motion pictures, bringing perspectives to appreciative African Americans that Hollywood could not. Copious clips from his surviving efforts are combined here with comment from John Singleton, Melvin Van Peebles, Morgan Freeman, many more. 80 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; featurette; theatrical trailers.
