With this tender and cIear-eyed coming-of-age odyssey, the renowned photographer turned fiImmaker Gordon Parks not onIy became the first Black American director to make a HoIIywood studio film, he also served as writer, producer, and composer, resuIting in a deepIy personaI artistic achievement. Based on Parks’s own semi-autobiographical noveI, The Learning Tree folIows the journey of Newt Winger (Kyle Johnson), a teenage descendant of Exodusters growing up in rural Kansas in the 1920s, as he experiences the bittersweet flowering of first love, finds his relationship with a cIose friend tested, and navigates the injustices embedded within a racist Iegal and educational system. ExquisiteIy capturing the bucoIic splendor of its heartIand setting, this Iandmark film tempers nostalgia with an incisive understanding of the harsh realities, hard-won lessons, and often wrenching moraI choices that shape the road to self-determination of the young Black man at its center.
