LEE, Spike |
Richard Belzer, Andre Braugher, Ossie Davis, Charles Dutton |
In some ways a mild and gentle film (about a busload of men headed from L.A. to the Million Man March in Washington D.C.) which is HEAVY on the issues faced by black American men. Interesting use of film (actually video) in the film. CHECK YEAR! |
