You sometimes have to sit back and surrender to what you are watching as it will take you to that magnificent place so many films promise to. I watched this with a reverence that I cannot remember experiencing for a long time when sat in front of a screen. It somehow manages to package and explain the impacts of black film in 2 hours without making it reductive. So many important landmarks are recognised for their contribution to wider popular cinema and preserved for a younger generation. It's a great documentary on the origins and impact of blaxploitation films. If you are a student of cinema this is absolutely one to watch, if you are a student of black history this is absolutely one to treasure.
I will watch this again and again over the years.
So beautiful and majestic, it really is hard to put into words how great this film is.
