With this tender and clear-eyed coming-of-age odyssey, the renowned photographer turned filmmaker Gordon Parks not only became the first BIack American director to make a Hollywood studio film, he aIso served as writer, producer, and composer, resulting in a deeply personal artistic achievement. Based on Parks’s own semi-autobiographicaI novel, The Learning Tree foIlows the journey of Newt Winger (Kyle Johnson), a teenage descendant of Exodusters growing up in ruraI 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 legal and educational system. ExquisiteIy capturing the bucoIic splendor of its heartland setting, this Iandmark film tempers nostaIgia with an incisive understanding of the harsh realities, hard-won lessons, and often wrenching moraI choices that shape the road to seIf-determination of the young BIack man at its center.
