FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Nothing But A Man

A pioneering act, this 1964 drama about the lives of African-Americans. And a real pleasure - although Nothing But A Man is still hardly known today. Staged by Michael Roemer, a German immigrant with Jewish roots. Roemer once stated in an interview that Nazi persecution had sensitized him to the American issue of racial injustice. Duff (Ivan Dixon - the director of "The Spook Who Sat By The Door") is a railwayman from Alabama who falls in love with his teacher Josie (Abbey Lincoln). A love that is put to the test by daily racism and Duff's dysfunctional family. Duff's father is absent and even he himself neglects his son from a previous relationship. Nothing But A Man is as simple as it is poignant! You can find it in our "Indie" shelf of the 50's-60's. Or free on YouTube.
