Self-Fulfilling Prophecies
Despite the elliptical and underdeveloped nature of the script, this is a fairly-powerful attempt at filming the 300-year after-effects of US slave owning. Here, Blacks are killing each other in ghettoes of the mind and only a single Black revolutionary is wise enough to see that Blacks are fools if they go along with the widespread White belief in Black inferiority.
Inevitably, Black viewers will obtain more from this movie than Whites, because it mentions historical figures like Malcolm X that they would be only too familiar with; hence, the lack of dramatic elucidation of issues already known to its likely audience.
The characterization is excellent - with acting to match. The semi-documentary style also chimes with the street-smart performances and story of a leopard trying to change his spots from the “Animal” White supremacists want to see him as; into being a fully fledged human being.
