Who wrote/directed NOTHING BUT A MAN
Michael Roemer is the director, and for years I stupidly thought he was a black filmmaker up until last year somebody showed to me he is not. Roemer is a Jew who at 11-years old was hauled on the Kindertransports only to narrowly escape Nazi Germany after that; in adulthood he travelled with co-writer and collaborator Robert M. Young to the South to interview black families to understand their adversities. The two artists / documentarians were persecuted by local whites at every town they visited and claimed that many white locals threatened to poison their food.
