Cultures-Png
This is a thought provoking documentary that details the migration of African-American writers to France at the end of World War II. From 1947 to the late'60's, several African-American writers including Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Chester Himes and Gordon Parks made the journey to the "Black Left Bank" of the Seine. This film exposes the reasons behind their exile and retraces the lives of these expatriates in St-Germain-des-Prés where Existentialism, Black consciousness and jazz melded together.
