In the Shadow of Hollywood

  • 14 years ago
On a project I've been working on at AMS Pictures, http://op.amspictures.com In the Shadow of Hollywood: Race Movies and the Birth of Black Cinema captures the sounds and images of a nearly-forgotten era in film history when African American filmmakers and studios created “race movies” exclusively for black audiences. The best of these films attempted to counter the demeaning stereotypes of black Americans prevalent in the popular culture of the day. Available for U.S. and international distribution 60 Minutes – HD
