Let me give you my opinion on the subject. The uneducated viewer will say yes because they used the N-word in the title. How can they? People need to understand that this was a word like every other around that time and there was nothing wrong to it. Political correctness has really had a bad impact on us. After all, are we not allowed to call anybody the way they call each other? Anyway, this is a 40-minute black-and-white sound documentary from 1944 and the title and this year already tell you what it is about. It's the times of war and this film is supposed to emphasize the achievements of Black soldiers. That's what it does. However, it also drifts randomly into other areas, for example sports. It's okay if you show a black athlete win a gold medal. If you show a Japanese and German athlete fail at the same time, it's propaganda. So pretty despicable in my opinion. And on a very general note, isn't it all about equality. Why make a film that emphasizes black, Asian-American, Latino or White achievements. We should honor people who reached great things for what they did, not for which color they are, just like we should not vote for a Black President because there never has been one so far. All men are created equal. Lets not waste any time on how different they look. I do not recommend this film here. Thumbs down.
