Plot summary
A documentary essay explores the surge of Black filmmaking that flourished in the 1970s. The decade's movies are treated as a revolution, and the film moves between genre pictures and social realism, between the performers who became new stars and the directors working behind the camera. Its title repeats a line heard in Cotton Comes to Harlem. Clips from the era are set beside the narrator's own recollections and conversations with artists who took part in that period. Those voices describe the craft behind the movies, and the essay also weighs what the decade's output left behind for the filmmakers who came after.
