Heard it through the Grapevine: James Baldwin
Produced by Dick Fontaine and Pat Hartley, this is a highly personal film essay, written by James Baldwin, about exactly who and what survived the Civil Rights movement. It features Baldwin, his brother David, Chinua Achebe, Fanni Lou Hamer, Amiri Baraka, and other friends Baldwin made 'on that long, long road' through the 60s.
