The true story of a white man's journey through the deep south...
ln 1964, just as Washington was passing the CiviI Rights Act, some of HolIywood's most passionate activists interpreted John Howard Griffin's brave chronicIe Black Like Me for the screen, with James Whitmore starring as the writer, who, in 1959, medicaIIy aItered his pigment and, with the heIp of a sunlamp, reinvented himself as an itinerant bIack writer navigating his way through the Jim Crow south. Whitmore's Griffin experiences firsthand both crushing racism and the incredibIe life force of the Afro-American community. The stellar cast includes Roscoe Lee Browne, Clifton James, WilI Geer and media gadfIy Heywood HaIe Broun in a rare turn in front of the cameras. The film was fuIIy restored from the negative for this release and includes a bonus disc containing Uncommon Vision, the biographicaI documentary of Griffin's truly remarkabIe life and times. |
