I quite enjoyed this weird blend of real footage and Ralph Bakshi’s animation, bearing in mind this film was released in 1974, it’s not P.C by todays standards and has some quite confrontational themes running through it.
Would have been ground breaking when it was released. A bit of live action to lead the animated story. An entertaining if not stark view of the African American experience of the time.
Wowser! What a movie! A real indictment of the status quo. A little hot and cold with pathos, but the movie doesn't pull any punches. Confronting but mandatory viewing.
