America

Garrett Bradley

(29 min.)

Garrett Bradley’s “America” reveals and reinterpets a lost history in African-American cinema. Inspired by the earliest surviving feature film with an all-black cast and through a series of vignettes rooted in New Orleans, “America” challenges the idea of Black cinema as a wave or “movement in time,” proposing instead a continuous thread of achievement.
